China urges U.S. politicians to stop making groundless accusation1 against China
China urges U.S. politicians to view China's development in an objective and rational way, stop making groundless accusation against China and contribute more to China-U.S. mutual2 trust and cooperation.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry3 spokesman Hong Lei made the remarks in a statement issued Saturday morning in response to the U.S. Republic Party's recently-released China policy and U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt4 Romney's remarks concerning China in his nomination5 speech.
Hong Lei said all American politicians, regardless of political party, should view China's development in an objective and rational way, correctly understand China-U.S. relations, stop making groundless accusation against China and intervening in China's internal affairs, and do more contribution to promoting China-U.S. mutual trust and cooperation in a responsible way.
He stressed that it is the common cause of China and the United States to push forward the mutually beneficial cooperative partnership6 with mutual respect.
China denies Greenpeace GM rice test claims
Government officials in central China's Hunan Province have denied claims that children in the area were being used as guinea pigs in U.S.-backed research on the effects of consuming genetically7-modified (GM) rice.

A spokesman for Hengyang City, where the study was allegedly conducted, said the government has formed an investigation9 team to probe the claim, but initial findings indicated that there had been no such research project.
