On April 5, in answering a question from correspondent concerning US Secretary of State Colin Powell's letter to Vice Premier Qian Qichen at the regular Foreign Ministry briefing, Spokesman Sun Yuxi said that the regret expressed by the US side is a step taken in the right direction. However, the US side knows clearly China's stance and demands on this issue. It should shoulder all the responsibilities and make a full apology to the Chinese people.
China is committed to develop a healthy and stable China-America relationship. We hope that the US side will make efforts in developing the relations between the two countries and handle this incident in a serious and proper manner so as not to impair the Sino-American relations.
