In response to questions concerning the statement, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said the statement was "finger pointing" about China's internal affairs in disregard of the facts.
"We urged relevant member of the US Congress to respect the facts, discard prejudices and stop using Tibet related issues to interfere in China's domestic affairs," Qin said.
He said tremendous progress has taken place in fields such as Tibet's social and economic development, human rights, as well as religious and cultural conservation.
