China has expressed regret over Steven Spielberg's decision to quit as an artistic advisor to the Beijing Olympics because of its policies in war-torn Sudan.
The Hollywood director said he pulled out because China was doing too little to help halt the bloodshed in the western Sudanese region of Darfur.
In a statement yesterday, Mr Spielberg said that China should do more to urge the Sundanese government to resolve the humanitarian crisis in Darfur.
