BEIJING, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- The Committee of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee on Wednesday expressed severe condemnation of, strong indignation over and firm opposition to the passing of a bill on Xinjiang-related issues by the U.S. House of Representatives.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the so-called "Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2019" on Tuesday local time despite strong opposition from the Chinese side, which has grossly interfered in China's internal affairs and severely violated the basic norms governing international relations, according to a statement issued by the foreign affairs committee.
