Financial crisis 'not China's fault'

China should not be blamed for any matter regarding the global financial crisis, as the country has tried its best to improve the economic situation, a European diplomat said ahead of Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to Europe next week.

"China's efforts to stimulate its economy are going to benefit the world as well," Serge Abou, the EU ambassador to China, told China Daily in an interview earlier this month.

"We're not blaming China for any matter about the financial crisis. The crisis was not born in China," he said.
