China has slammed a US congressional report on human rights as interference in the internal affairs and urged Washington lawmakers to end their irresponsible remarks.

The report issued in Washington, "ignores the facts and makes preposterous accusations on human rights, religion, Tibet, Hong Kong and other issues," foreign ministry spokesman Kong Quan said in a statement released late Wednesday.

"It grossly interferes in China's internal affairs. We express our resolute opposition," he said in the statement on the ministry's website.

The report, released Tuesday by the US congress, accused China on human rights, religion, Tibet, Hong Kong and other issues.

Kong denied such accusations, saying that the Chinese people enjoy "full human rights and basic freedoms," particularly since the country had embarked on economic and reform initiatives in recent years.

"We urge the US Congress and the committee members to address more their own domestic problems instead of always making wanton and irresponsible remarks on the affairs of other countries," he said.

"We demand that the US side end its interference in China's internal affairs and take effective measure to eliminate the negative impact of the report."
