Wednesday, April 4, 2001 According to Washington Post (April 4, 2001), the House condemned China's human rights record yesterday. The paper said, "On a 406-to-6 vote, the House approved a nonbinding resolution supporting U.S. efforts to sponsor -- as it has in the past -- a U.N. resolution faulting Beijing's human rights record at the annual six-week meeting of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights in Geneva. The House resolution cites China's repression of its Tibetan minority and of members of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement."
