China on Friday expressed "strong indignation" and "resolute opposition" to a US Congress resolution on Tibet.
The resolution, sponsored by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and passed on Wednesday, flagrantly distorts the history and reality of Tibet, rudely interferes in China's internal affairs and hurts the feelings of Chinese people, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said.
"China is strongly indignant and opposed to this resolution," she said.
Some US politicians, with "ulterior motives", have confounded right and wrong by turning a blind eye to the violent crimes committed by mobs in Lhasa, she said.
"We sternly warn those US Congress members: The more you do to shield the Dalai clique and disrupt the Beijing Olympics the more Chinese people are determined to safeguard stability and ethnic unity in Tibet and host a successful Olympic Games," Jiang said.
"We demand the US Congress see clearly the Dalai Lama's true colors and immediately stop these wrongful remarks and deeds that interfere with China's internal affairs and hurt Sino-US ties," she said.
According to news reports, the US resolution called China's handling of last month's riots in Lhasa "disproportionate and extreme".
It used "nonviolent" to describe the rioters but turned a blind eye to the videos that show them looting and setting fires, and the fact that 18 civilians were killed, Jiang said.
