Ministry condemns resolution

The government yesterday condemned a US congress resolution on China's human rights situation and urged Washington to curb the "odious" conduct of anti-China legislators.

"The United States should firmly curb the odious conduct of a small group of anti-China lawmakers," Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said.

He was speaking in response to a resolution passed by the US House of Representatives on Wednesday that called on China to immediately stop "abusing" human rights and to end its support for Myanmar and Sudan.
