Q: The European Parliament has recently adopted a resolution on China's religious freedom. What is your comment?

A: The resolution adopted by the European Parliament has distorted facts and wantonly slandered China's religious situation, to which we express strong dissatisfaction. China's Constitution guarantees its citizens religious freedom. It is the long-term basic policy of the Chinese Government to respect and guarantee citizens' religious freedom. Thanks to the efforts of the governments at various levels, religious activities all over China including Tibet are going normally. The religious undertakings are further developed. This is a fact that no one can deny. "Falun Gong" is a thorough cult that goes against humanities, society and science. The Chinese Government has banned and cracked down on "Falun Gong" in accordance with law, which is to safeguard citizens' fundamental religious freedom and protect human rights. A handful of people in the European Parliament clamored in favor of such a cult, which can not but arouse the indignation and opposition of the Chinese people.
