'groundless'

China hit out Tuesday at what it called "groundless"
US accusations that it was blocking moves to pressure Iran on
its nuclear programmes, but refused to commit to new talks on
tougher sanctions.
"Some on the US side have made groundless accusations against
China and this is not in line with the facts," foreign ministry
spokesman Liu Jianchao told reporters.
"We believe China and the US have common interests on this
issue. That is, to safeguard the international non-proliferation
regime."
A meeting of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council
-- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- plus
Germany was due to take place on Monday in Brussels to discuss
possible sanctions aimed at halting Iran's nuclear drive.

But it was cancelled after China, which opposes sanctions on
Iran, said it would not attend.
Liu said on Monday that China's representative could not attend
because of a scheduling conflict, and not for any other reason.
