UNITED NATIONS -- A spokesperson for China's Permanent Mission to the United Nations on Thursday refuted U.S. ambassador Kelly Craft's remarks on China in a statement.

Craft, the U.S.' permanent representative to the United Nations, "spread lies to smear China and intentionally created hostility, all for the purpose of domestic politics. China categorically rejects her remarks," the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said Craft's claim to differentiate the Chinese people from the Communist Party of China (CPC) was hypocritical. "The United States' gratuitous bullying has harmed the interests of all Chinese people, who are indignant. The attempts of certain American politicians to estrange the CPC and the Chinese people are doomed to failure. The Chinese people will not allow anyone, any force to separate them from the CPC."
