BEIJING, (Xinhua) -- China News reports that China resolutely opposes the U.S. Congress's awarding of Congressional gold medal to Dalai Lama, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said here Thursday.
China also firmly opposes any country and any person using the issue of Dalai Lama to interfere with China's internal affairs, Liu said.
"We have made solemn representations to the United States over this issue," he said.
The White House said on Wednesday that the U.S. Congress planned to award Dalai Lama the Congressional gold medal on Oct. 17.
