Anti-terrorism has become a consensus of the international community and
there should not exist double standards, said a Chinese official here
Wednesday night.

Liu Jianchao, spokesman for the Chinese delegation to the summit of the
Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) slated for Thursday, said at a
news briefing in the media center of the summit.

"Under the current international situation, a single nation can hardly
accomplish the fight against terrorism. The international community
should join hands to combat terrorism," Liu said.

One major function of the SCO is to fight the "three evil forces" of
terrorism, separatism and extremism, he said. "All security measures for
the summit are necessary to ensure a smooth proceeding of the meeting and
the safety of all participants."

Asked to comment on the SCO's anti-terrorism achievements, Liu said that
over the past five years all SCO member states have made close
communication in fighting the "three evil forces" and good cooperation in
law enforcement, information exchange and joint military exercises.

SCO member states all believe that the fight against the "three evil
forces" is a common task and conforms to all parties' interests, Liu
said, stressing that such cooperation has made remarkable results.

Chinese President Hu Jintao Wednesday afternoon talked about joint
efforts in fighting the "three evil forces" when meeting with presidents
of three SCO member states including Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and
Uzbekistan. The four heads of state resolved to join hands to further
strengthen anti-terrorism cooperation.

The SCO, established in June 2001, comprises China, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
