A spokesperson for the Chinese Mission to the European Union expressed strong dissatisfaction on Friday over a resolution passed by the European Parliament concerning Xizang, lodging a formal protest with the EU side.
The spokesperson condemned the resolution for disregarding facts and spreading false information about Xizang-related issues, accusing it of smearing China's image and grossly interfering in China's internal affairs.
China urged the European Parliament to face the facts and fully recognize the importance and sensitivity of Xizang-related issues, stressing respect for China's core interests and major concerns.
The spokesperson added that the EU side must stop using human rights as a pretext to interfere and cease sending wrong signals to anti-China separatist forces.
Concrete actions should be taken to safeguard the overall sound and stable development of China-EU relations, the spokesperson concluded.
