China urges the United States to revise the UN draft on Darfur crisis and said that it will vote according to the revision, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan in Beijing Thursday.

The draft resolution is now under discussion and China hopes that the United States will listen to suggestions from all sides and make the revision, said Kong at regular press conference.

"We will make a final decision on our voting stance according to the revising of the draft," Kong said, when asked to comment onreports that China will veto the draft.

The Darfur crisis is a complicated issue, said Kong. Sudan has made progress and should be given more time for a proper settlement; sanctions will only complicate the situation.

Kong said the US should hear from the UN Security Council members, African Union and League of Arab States and revise its draft.
