US Appropriation Act Interferes in China's Internal Affairs
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 the afternoon of November 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.
