  BEIJING, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman on Friday urged some United States law-makers to stop "intervening" in China‘s domestic affairs in the name of Tibet.

  "Tremendous progress has taken place in Tibet‘s social and economic aspects since its democratic reform and the human rights situation there is the best in history," spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said in a statement.

  Ma‘s remarks came after the Dalai Lama on Tuesday received a U.S. Congress award in honor of the late U.S. human rights activist Tom Lantos.

  "The Chinese people know well about Dalai, a primary chief of the feudal serfdom in old Tibet, who is still running programs to divide the homeland and sabotage social stability and unity among nations in Tibet," Ma said.
