Clinton's June 4 comments 'disregarded facts'

China yesterday expressed deep dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's remarks on the 20th anniversary of the events of June 4.

"As to the political turmoil and problems that happened in the late 1980s, the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government have already made a clear conclusion," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said at a regular press conference in response to a question about a statement released by Clinton on Wednesday.

He said China had made great advances in economic and social development since the country began its reforms and opened up 30 years ago.
