China is opposed to Western nations' strikes against Libyan defences.

French, United States and British forces are attacking military installations controlled by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

They are enforcing a United Nations-sanctioned no-fly zone over Libya after government forces violated the cease-fire it had declared.

China’s Foreign Ministry says, as always, it does not agree with the use of force in international relations.

It believes all nations should respect Libya's sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity.

China along with Russia, Brazil, Germany and India abstained from voting on the draft UN resolution on Thursday.
