"In the discussions that I've had with President Bush this morning we talked about ways of opposing all forms of terrorism. Recently what we have been doing has shown our position. Of course we also hope that the fight against terrorism should be accurate and hit the target and not hurt innocent people. At the same time we also hope that the United Nations should be fully involved. Regarding the issue of Anthrax, which we've been hearing a lot about, I think that all the countries in the world should consider Anthrax a serious public hazard to humans and we should be united together in the fight against it. We must stop this thing becoming and epidemic."

"Thirdly I do not have, I do not have knowledge of a direct link of the Anthrax incidents to the enemy, but I wouldn't put it past them. These are evil people and the deeds that have been conducted on the American people are evil deeds. Anybody who would mail Anthrax letters, trying to affect the lives of innocent people is evil and I want to say this as clearly as I can, that anybody in America who would use this opportunity to threaten our citizen, who think it's funny as a hoax to put out some kind of threat will be held accountable and will be prosecuted."
20. Jiang Zemin says "thankyou" and leaders walk off.

STORYLINE:

US President George W. Bush said on Friday he was confident that China stood "side by side with the American people" during military strikes on Afghanistan.

But Chinese President Jiang Zemin cautioned the United States to avoid "innocent casualties".

After his first meeting with Jiang, Bush told reporters he was satisfied with China's co-operation on intelligence gathering and pursuing financial assets of al-Qaida and its founder, Osama bin Laden, who are believed to be behind the September 11 attacks.

"There was no hesitation, there was no doubt they'd stand with our people during this terrible time," Bush said at a joint news conference in Shanghai.



It was not all talk of cooperation.







hoaxes.
