China Resolutely Opposes US Intervention in Macao Affairs
China lodged Thursday its strong dissatisfaction with and resolute opposition to a US bill meddling in the affairs of Macao, a special administrative region of China.
In response to a question at a regular press conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhu Bangzao strongly condemned the actions of the US in interfering in the affairs of Macao by passing a domestic bill.
Zhu said that the US Congress, disregarding China's opposition, had "affiliated the so-called amendment of the US policy on Macao" to another bill and has now been signed into law by President Clinton.
He said that "the bill attempts to interfere into the affairs of Macao and infringes upon China's sovereignty by utilizing the export control and human rights issues."
"China is strongly displeased with and resolutely opposed to the US action," Zhu said.
"China demands the US to observe the basic norms governing international relations and stop its wrong action of intervening in China's domestic affairs," the spokesman said.
