China Outraged by US-Tibet Resolution
The US has hurt China's feelings.
An indignant China said Friday the U.S. "seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people" when Congress passed a resolution calling on Beijing to stop cracking down on Tibetan dissent and talk to the Dalai Lama.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu labeled the resolution anti-Chinese, saying it misrepresented Tibet's "history and modern reality."
"The Chinese side expresses its strong indignation and resolute opposition toward this," Jiang said in a statement posted on the ministry's Web site.
The resolution sponsored by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and passed on Wednesday called on Beijing to "end its crackdown on nonviolent Tibetan protesters" and put a stop to cultural, religious, economic and linguistic "repression."
While noting reports of deadly rioting in Lhasa and other Tibetan areas in March, the resolution called China's response "disproportionate and extreme." It said hundreds of Tibetans had been killed and thousands detained, but did not say how it obtained its information.

This "resolution" from a country that is responsible for over a million casualties in a current illegal invasion and occupation, and has a history of international annexations, interference, overt and covert manipulation of sovereign governments around the world, with a casualty count untouched by any other country. Such hypocrisy has become so typical from Washington that we can only look on aghast and ashamed for America as it wobbles towards its inevitable deluded end.
