Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ma Zhaoxu's Remarks on US House of Representatives Adopting Tibet-related Resolution
2009/03/13

Q: On March 11, the US House of Representatives adopted a Tibet-related resolution, criticizing Chinese Government’s Tibet policy and touting the Dalai Lama. How do you comment on this?

A: The Chinese Government and people express strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition over the resolution deliberated and adopted by the US House of Representatives. Turning a blind eye to facts, making groundless accusation against China’s ethnic and regional policy and whitewashing Dalai’s prolonged engagement in anti-China separatist activities, this resolution is a grave violation of the fundamental norms governing international relations and gross interference in China’s internal affairs. China has made solemn representations to the US side.

We urge relevant party of the US Congress to immediately correct mistakes, stop interfering in China’s internal affairs by making use of Tibet-related issues and stop doing things that could disrupt and compromise China-US relations.
