Foreign Ministry Spokesman Liu Jianchao's Remarks on the US House of Representatives' Resolution on China's Human Rights
2004-03-09 00:00

Q: It is reported that the US House of Representatives adopted a resolution urging the US Government to table an act against China at this year's UN Human Rights commission. What's your comment?

A: The Chinese Government has always committed itself to the protection and promotion of human rights and fundamental freedoms. China has made great achievements in the field of human rights, which have been universally acknowledged.

It is totally unreasonable for the US House of Representatives to pass the above mentioned resolution criticizing China's human rights situation regardless of basic facts.

Facts have proved that dialogue and cooperation are the only correct way to address human rights differences between two countries. Confrontation will lead to nowhere.
