China Criticizes US for Anti-China Bill
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue criticized the US for its planned anti-China bill concerning the human rights issue Tuesday afternoon at the routine press conference.
She stated that the US acting Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights Michael Parmly announced on Tuesday that the US will stage a bill on China's human rights on the 57th session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.
She pointed out that the Chinese Government and people are firmly opposed to such a deed of the US which interferes in China's internal affairs by using the so-called human rights issue.
She noted that the Chinese Government has always respected the international communities' universal principles on human rights, and in accordance with China's domestic situations, made positive efforts to promote and protect Chinese people's human rights and basic freedom with great and remarkable achievements.
The various criticisms of the US on China on the excuse of so-called human rights issue are totally unreasonable and with ulterior motives, the spokeswoman noted.
China has always advocated that on the basis of equality and mutual respect, disputes over human rights issue among different countries should be treated and solved through dialogue and exchanges, said Zhang.
Confrontations can only interfere in the international human rights cause, and will not be of any help to the development of bilateral relations, she added.
"We hope that the US change its ways and return to the right track of dialogue," she concluded.
