KATHMANDU -- It is not wise for some international institutions in Nepal to publicly interfere in other countries' internal affairs and attempt to undermine the relations between Nepal and China, said a press release from the Chinese embassy in Nepal.
"An embassy in Nepal and one or two so-called human rights organizations have been pointing fingers at the measures adopted by the Government of Nepal, in accordance with the law, to deal with anti-China separatist activities launched by some Tibetans in Nepal," the press release quoted a Chinese embassy spokesperson as saying.
Such behavior by those who are publicly interfering in other countries' internal affairs and attempting to damage the relations between Nepal and its neighbor is "not wise at all," said the press release, a copy of which was obtained by Xinhua on Monday.
The protests by some Tibetans in Nepal were not "peaceful demonstrations," as claimed by these organizations, the press release said.
"In fact, a few 'Tibetan Independende' organizations and their ringleaders, by organizing and instigating the Tibetans who do not know the truth, attempted to storm the Chinese embassy many times, damaged the embassy's buildings twice, and repeatedly attacked the patriotic Tibetans, destroying their houses and shops and threatening their safety," it said.
"The Government of Nepal emphasizes Nepal-China neighborly friendliness, adheres to the one-China policy, and does not allow any anti-China separatist activity to take place in Nepal," it said.
The government of Nepal is exercising its legitimate rights and no foreign force has any right to interfere, it said, adding that all the attempts by those individuals and anti-China organizations to support "Tibetan Independence" forces and undermine the China-Nepal friendship will be in vain.
