Security Council resolution authorizing war with Iraq, Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan said on Thursday. "China's position on Iraq is consistent with their joint statement," Tang told a news conference, referring to the statement issued by France, Russia and Germany on Wednesday. "China endorses and supports their joint statement," he said, although he sidestepped a question on whether China would use its veto. © 2003 Reuters
