In response to a question about France’s air-dropping of weapons to civilians fighting Muammar Qaddafi’s forces, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters Thursday that countries should avoid actions that go beyond UN Security Council directives.
Hong says China wants a peaceful resolution to restore peace and stability in Libya as soon as possible.
