Beijing : China rejected statements by the US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi against Beijing holding the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu resented Pelosi who called a serious mistake by the Olympic Committee to allow China to host the Games, and threatened with giving some groups the right to voice their views when the torch reaches San Francisco.
Jiang Yu replied by calling the IOC’s decision solemn act, and said hosting an Olympic Games is the hopes of every people on Earth.
Jiang urged US politicians to respect the Olympic spirit and principles, secure the torch relay and abstain from doing anything to affect Olympic activities.
