China's special envoy on Darfur told the BBC that Beijing accounted for just 8% of Sudan's total arms imports.
Liu Guijin said the US, Russia and UK were the biggest arms exporters to developing countries including Sudan.
About 200,000 have died in the five years of conflict between rebels, the army and pro-Khartoum militias.
In an exclusive interview with the BBC's China analyst Shirong Chen, Mr Liu said Chinese weapons were not fuelling the conflict.
"Sudan is the third largest conventional arms producer in Africa next only to South Africa and Egypt.
"And there are seven countries selling arms to Sudan. So even if China stopped its sale, it still won't solve the problem of arms in Sudan," he said.
This is significant to china because they are defending the sudeninese because china supports and sells them arms, with most all countries giving china greif about the situation in darfur people wish that china would quit selling arms to the sudan.
