BEIJING — China has accused the United States of "political prejudice" after the State Department called on Beijing to fully account for those killed, detained or missing in the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said in a statement that China urges the U.S. "to discard political prejudice and correctly treat China's development," according to the Xinhua News Agency's English service late Saturday.
The statement was not available on the Foreign Ministry's website or Xinhua's Chinese service.
