China said it was outraged by a resolution by U.S. lawmakers
urging an end to a crackdown in Tibet as a Beijing-run newspaper
linked al Qaeda to claimed plots to attack the Beijing Olympics.
The condemnation came in response to a U.S. House of Representatives
resolution urging China to open dialogue with the Dalai Lama,
end a crackdown on "non-violent" Tibetan protesters
and halt "repression" in the restive mountain region.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said her government
was "strongly indignant and resolutely opposed" to the
resolution passed on Wednesday with the backing of House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, Xinhua news agency reported.

Jiang said the U.S. lawmakers should instead direct their ire
at what Beijing calls the Dalai Lama's clique, which China has
blamed for deadly rioting in Tibet's regional capital Lhasa on
March 14 and subsequent protests across Tibetan areas.
"It is confusing black with white and is vicious-minded
of certain members of the U.S. House of Representatives to not
only fail to condemn the attacks, smashing, looting and arson
in Lhasa ... but rather to point the spear at the Chinese government
and people," Jiang said.
The Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, has rejected
claims that he orchestrated the violence, and Western governments
have urged China to open up conciliatory contacts.
