Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesmanLiu Jianchao said Tuesday that China is concerned with the unilateral decision of a US religion body to visit the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Liu made the remark in regard to a report that the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) would send delegates to Hong Kong.

The commission's decision came out while China's State Administration of Religious Affairs was consulting with it about the schedule for a China tour by its delegates, Liu said.

He said the commission's unilateral decision on visiting Hong Kong was not proper at this time.

China hoped the commission would not do anything to harm the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong, Liu said.
