BEIJING -- China hit out Thursday at a US Congressional plan to award its highest medal to the Dalai Lama in a ceremony expected to be attended by President George W. Bush, saying it had protested to Washington.
"China resolutely opposes the US Congress's awarding of a so-called Congressional gold medal and firmly opposes any country and any person using the Dalai Lama issue to interfere in China's internal affairs," foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said.
Liu said China had made "solemn representations" to the United States over the plans to bestow the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honor the legislature can bestow, on the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader.
However, Liu made no reference to the announcement by the White House on Wednesday that Bush would attend the ceremony.
