BEIJING - China on Thursday appealed for stronger international collaboration in combating terrorism and warned against double standards.

"On anti-terror, China maintains that terrorism is the enemy of all countries. The international community should step up collaboration in combating terrorism," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said at a daily press briefing.

Qin's comments came after the US President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced a $5 billion proposal to serve as a "partnership fund" to help countries fight terrorism on their soil.
