China opposes the United States wantonly interfere into China's
internal affairs, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said on
Wednesday.
"The so-called statement of the United States is a groundless
criticism and attack on China," Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu
Jianchao said in a statement.
The US State Department spokesman Sean McCormack on Sunday
issued a statement on "Tiananmen incident".
"China has already had a clear-cut conclusion on the political
disturbance that took place in China at the end of the 1980's," Liu
said.
Over the past years, China has witnessed social stability and
economic growth, achieved important progresses in building
democracy and legal system, Liu said.
"The Chinese people enjoy all the human rights and freedom in
line with the law," the spokesman said, adding the Chinese
government and people will unswervingly pursue the path of building
socialism with Chinese characteristics.
"China is strongly dissatisfied with and resolutely opposes the
US statement on 'Tiananmen incident', which severely violates the
basic norms guiding international relations and wantonly interferes
into China's internal affairs," Liu said.
The spokesman asked the United States to seriously think about
and reflect on how to deal with its own severe violation of human
rights within and out of the United States.
