Beijing wants Chinese Gitmo detainees

China reiterated that Chinese terror suspects being held at Guantanamo Bay be repatriated to the country if the US-run military prison is closed under the new administration, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said yesterday.

"The Chinese government has always called for the early repatriation of Chinese terrorist suspects and firmly opposes any country accepting them," Qin said at a press briefing.

"These terror suspects are members of the Eastern Turkestan Islamic Movement, which has been listed as a terrorist organization by the United Nations," Qin said.
