China expresses 'strong dissatisfaction' with U.S. statement on Tiananmen anniversary

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's embassy in the United States expressed "strong dissatisfaction" on Tuesday towards the United States' remarks on the 30th anniversary of the Chinese government's bloody crackdown on student-led protests in Tiananmen Square (NYSE:SQ).

A statement from the embassy said U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's comments on the anniversary were made "out of prejudice and arrogance" and grossly interfered with China's internal affairs.

"China's human rights are in the best period ever," it said.
