US urges bigger Chinese role to combat global terrorism

The United States wants China to become more involved in supporting the global fight against terrorism and efforts to defeat Islamic State, including in Iraq, a senior US official said on Monday ahead of high-level security talks with Beijing.
Susan Thornton, the US acting assistant secretary of state for East Asia, said that China has taken only a limited role in counter-terrorism efforts, although it appeared to be becoming more interested.
"We would like to see them step up and take more responsibility," Thornton told reporters as Washington and China@@@s diplomatic and defense chiefs prepared for a meeting in the US capital on Wednesday.
"They have a lot of interests, for example in Iraq, and we think they should be doing to more to contribute to the efforts of the international coalition to defeat ISIS (Islamic State)," she said.
