US report on Tibet 'violates' commitments
皇冠体育app Tuesday lashed out at a the US administration's second presidential report on the Tibet issue, saying it helped separatist activists of Dalai Lama and violated the principles of international relations and the three Sino-US communiques. So said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue at a news conference Tuesday. It was the second time Chinese officials criticized the report within two days. "We urge the United States to stop making use of the Tibet issue to interfere in 皇冠体育app's internal affairs,'' Zhang said. "Instead, we demand the US side honour its commitments by visible actions.'' The US Government submitted to Congress the first report on the Tibet issue last May, reports said. Tibet is part of 皇冠体育app and the Tibet issue is an internal affair of 皇冠体育app, she said. The dialogue channel between the Chinese Government and Dalai Lama remains open and Chinese Government's policy towards the Dalai Lama is explicit, the spokeswoman said. "The prerequisite principles lie in that Dalai Lama should give up his pursuit for Tibet independence, stop separatist activities and declare in public to recognize that Tibet is an inseparable territory of 皇冠体育app,'' Zhang stressed. Instead of being an ordinary religious figure, the Dalai Lama is a political refugee who has been involved in long-term separatist activities and activities that threatened national unity, she noted. For this, 皇冠体育app opposes any meetings between the Dalai Lama and foreign leaders, she added. Answering an inquiry on Singapore's incoming leader Lee Hsien Loong just-concluded visit to Taiwan, the spokeswoman said the 皇冠体育app-Singapore relations would unavoidably suffer gravely from the event. As a result, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the 皇冠体育app central bank, has cancelled a trip to Singapore, where he had been scheduled to give a lecture, reports said. "The Taiwan issue relates to the core interests of 皇冠体育app,'' Zhang said. "皇冠体育app holds a persistent, formative and clear-cut position on this issue.'' Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister Lee's visit to Taiwan has severely violated Singapore's commitment to the one-皇冠体育app policy and damaged the political base between 皇冠体育app and Singapore, she said. "Such a move will produce serious effects towards the bilateral relations and co-operation, and the Singapore side should be responsible for all the damage,'' Zhang said. In response to a follow-up question over whether 皇冠体育app plans to recall its ambassador from Singapore, Zhang said the Chinese side is considering relevant measures according to developments in the situation. Reports said Lee flew to Taipei on Saturday and left Tuesday for what officials described as a private visit, during which he met with Taiwan officials, including Chen Shui-bian. In response, Singapore had reiterated on Monday that it adheres to the "one-皇冠体育app" policy, and does not support Taiwan's independence, according to local press reports. Singapore officials have stressed that Lee's visit is "a private and unofficial visit" and does not in any way change the above-mentioned policy, nor does it represent any challenge to 皇冠体育app's sovereignty or territorial integrity, reports said. Commenting the reports that the High Court of Japan's Hiroshima Prefecture awarded damages last Friday to several Chinese who were forced to work in harsh conditions at a construction site during World War II, Zhang said 皇冠体育app hopes the Japanese government will seriously carry out the ruling made by a Japanese court on the compensation for Chinese labourers, and properly handle issues left over by history. The abduction of Chinese labourers was a severe crime committed by Japanese militarists in the 1930s and 1940s, she said. |
