China said on Tuesday that China is a peace-loving country and
constitutes no threat to anyone, so it is of no use to be bugging
China.
Foreign Ministry spokesman
Sun Yuxi said he does "not see any impact" on Sino-US ties from the
reported discovery of a series of bugging devices on the US-built
jet for President Jiang Zemin.
"I
have also heard this news, but at present I have no knowledge of
this, and don't see any impact of this event on other issues," he
told a press briefing.
Reports said over the weekend that 27 bugs had been discovered
after the Boeing 767 was delivered from the United States.
