Human Rights
Tibet

By a vote of 413 to 1, the US House of Representatives adopted a resolution that criticized China for its "disproportionate and extreme" response to protests in Tibet, and urged the Beijing government to hold direct, unconditional talks with the Dalai Lama on the future of Tibet. A Chinese FM spokeswoman reacted with "strong indignation and opposition" and called the resolution "a rude interference into China's internal affairs and seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people".
