Anyone who attempts to ignite unrest in China is on a "fool's errand", the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Friday in response to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's recent harsh comments on China's human rights record.

"Mentioning China in the same breath as other countries in West Asia and North Africa where volatility and turmoil have occurred recently is inappropriate. Anyone who attempts to bring the Middle East turbulence into China and to change the development road that the Chinese people have chosen for themselves is on a fool's errand," said Jiang Yu, the foreign ministry spokeswoman.

In an interview with the Atlantic magazine published Tuesday, Clinton said the Chinese government was "trying to stop history, which is a fool's errand."

This echoed her speech at the just-concluded China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue, in which she used the term "disappeared" to refer to the arrest of some Chinese lawyers and artists.

The harsh comment drew mounting criticisms from Chinese people.

"I'm not surprised by Hillary's remarks, because she is a 'free imperialist' in the Democratic Party, who highly praises human rights and is prone to intervening in other countries," Da Wei, deputy director of the Institute of American Studies at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, told the Global Timeson Friday.

Zhou Qi, a senior researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), told the Global Times that Clinton's remarks were "irresponsible" and "childish".

In a poll conducted by huanqiu.com on Friday, 86 percent of over 30,000 participants felt that Clinton acted discourteously as the top diplomat of the US and was disrespecting China.

"The US final purpose is to split and suppress China. Their wild ambition will never change. We should keep alert and remember it forever," said a Web user named "red tiger."

"The US, as a country that often tramples on the sovereignty of other countries and kills their civilians, should review their own crimes first," said another.

Yang Bin, another researcher at CASS, told the Global Times that the US has no right to criticize China, saying the US itself has a bad human rights record and has launched wars on other countries.
