China is "strongly displeased by and resolutely opposed to" the
signing by US President Bill Clinton of the "Foreign Operations,
Export Financing and Related Programs Appropriation Act, 2001,"
passed by the US Congress not long ago.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhu Bangzao made the remarks at
a regular press conference on Novermber 9.
Zhu said the act contains a number of anti-China items and
flagrantly interferes in China's internal affairs and harms China's
interests by utilizing the Taiwan, human rights, and Tibet
issues.
China had previously made solemn representations to the United
States on this matter, Zhu noted.
However, the US administration signed the act despite China's
complaints and China is strongly displeased by and resolutely
opposed to it, the spokesman said.
China demands the United States to implement the three joint
communiques between the two countries and the basic norms governing
international relations with concrete actions, Zhu said.
He
said that China also demands the US to immediately stop actions of
interfering in China's domestic affairs and harming China's
interests by making use of the Taiwan, Tibet and human rights
issues.
