Special report: Dalai clique's separatist activities condemned
BEIJING, April 16 -- The Foreign Ministry is also urging France to rethink its stance on Tibet issues, and adopt a more balanced position to safeguard Sino-French ties.
Responding to a French journalist's question about a recent proposal by some Chinese consumers to boycott French products. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said this is a voluntary move. She said she believes Chinese consumers and netizens will only express their disapproval using legal means. A message has been circulating on the Internet and mobile phones accusing the French retailer Carrefour of backing the Dalai Lama.
Jiang Yu, spokeswoman of Foreign Ministry of China, said, "Just now the French journalist mentioned that the French and the Chinese are friends. I think being friends demands efforts from both sides. We cannot accept behavior that, on the one hand, attaches importance to Sino-French relations, while on the other hand does things that are not understandable and acceptable to the Chinese people. We hope the French side can listen to what Chinese people say, and adopt an objective and equitable stance on a series of recent issues."
Special report: Dalai clique's separatist activities condemned BEIJING, April 14 (Xinhua) -- China on Monday expressed indignation over and opposition to a resolution on Tibet adopted by the U.S. Senate. The resolution, proposed by a few senators in disregard of China's strong protests, "persistently favored the Dalai clique and interfered with China's internal affairs," said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu in a statement. "China is strongly indignant and resolutely opposed to the resolution," she said. Jiang urged U.S. Senators to see clearly the Dalai Lama's true nature, which she said was to engage in secessionist activities under the guise of religion. The Dalai group is talking of dialog and peace, but confrontation and violence is what they do, she said. "We demand those few Senators to respect facts, abandon prejudice and immediately stop wrongful remarks and deeds that hurt the Chinese people's feeling and harm China-U.S. relations," said Jiang. |
