Q：  It was reported by The Washington Times on 28 September that China was supplied by the Taliban US cruises missiles fired during attacks against the Taliban. It was also reported that China's companies had been working on the telecom systems for the Taliban. What is your comment?

A： The report alleging that China got US cruises missiles from the Taliban and other reports are totally groundless. I wish to reiterate that the Chinese Government has not established any kind of official relations with the Taliban. It should be pointed out that since the outbreak of the September 11 Incident, some people in the United States have been intentionally spreading various kinds of liars to defame China. Such political attempts can lead to nowhere.
