中国反对美国国会给达赖喇嘛颁奖 (China Opposes US Congressional Award for Dalai Lama)

中国批评美国国会计划下星期向西藏流亡精神领袖达赖喇嘛颁发国会最高平民奖章。中国外交部发言人刘建超星期
四对记者表示，中国外交部强烈反对向达赖喇嘛颁发他说称的“所谓的”国会金质奖章的计划。

这位发言人说，中国反对任何人利用达赖喇嘛干涉中国内政的任何企图。中国反对达赖喇嘛力图会晤世界领导人，
指责达赖喇嘛秘密谋求分离。上个月，达赖喇嘛会晤了德国总理默克尔。

美国总统布什将出席国会下星期举行的颁奖仪式。

China has criticized a plan by the U.S. Congress to present Tibet's exiled spiritual 
leader, the Dalai Lama, with its highest civilian medal next week. Chinese Foreign 
Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao told reporters Thursday the ministry strongly opposes the 
plan to give the Dalai Lama what he referred to as the "so-called" Congressional Gold 
Medal.

The spokesman said China opposes any attempts by any person to use the Dalai Lama to 
interfere in its internal affairs. China challenges attempts by the Dalai Lama to meet 
with world leaders, accusing him of secretly promoting separatism. Last month, the Dalai 
Lama met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

President Bush will attend the congressional ceremony, which will be held next week。

中国因北韩叛逃者批评韩国 (China Criticizes South Korea for North Korean Defectors)

中国指责韩国外交官在4名北韩人试图在北京一家韩国管理的学校避难时，干扰了中国警察。这些北韩人进入了这所
学校，并躲在洗手间内，但是他们后来被大约30名中国安全人员追上了屋顶，然后被捕。

中国外交部一名发言人说，韩国领事官员在事件中出面干涉，并试图阻止逮捕行动。
他说，他们的行为违背了国际法和他们在中国的身份。

成千上万躲避饥荒和压迫的北韩人近年来跨越边境进入中国。中国视很多北韩人为经济难民，并且经常把他们送回
北韩。这些人因试图叛逃而在北韩面临严酷的对待。

China has accused South Korean diplomats of interfering with Chinese police during an 
attempt by four North Koreans to seek refuge at a South Korean-run school in Beijing. The 
North Koreans entered the school and hid in a bathroom, but they were chased onto the 
roof by about 30 Chinese security personnel who arrested them.

A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said South Korean consular officials interfered 
during the incident and tried to prevent the arrests. He said their actions violated 
international law and their own status in China.

Thousands of North Koreans, fleeing famine and repression, have traveled across the 
border into China in recent years. China views many as economic refugees and often 
returns them to the North, where they face harsh treatment for trying to defect.
