BEIJING, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- The
enactment of an anti-terrorism law by China represents a development in
the right direction for a country that has been a victim of violent
terror attacks, especially at a time when the international community is
facing an unprecedented wave of terror threats.
The legislation, adopted by China's top legislature Sunday afternoon
and aimed at creating a legal framework for China in its dealing with
terrorism both at home and abroad, is by no means an excuse for a
foreign country to make unwarranted distasteful criticism against China.
Prior to the adoption of the law, the United States expressed "serious concerns" about the law, saying it would "do more harm than good" to the threat of terrorism.
It is a known fact that throwing dirt on China at every opportunity
is a favored game for someone in the United States. However, it is
probably unknown to many how the United States -- the presumed global
leader against terrorism -- came up with such a sensational and
irresponsible conclusion regarding the Chinese legislation.
The proclaimed U.S. concern revolves around two points, with the
first being Chinese government's requirement for technology firms to
provide encryption keys and other sensitive data in case of terror
probes, and the second being tighter regulation on media when reporting
terrorism-related news events.
