CHINA called a US claim it had facilitated the departure of Edward Snowden from Hong Kong "groundless" yesterday, after Washington said Beijing had chosen to release him.
"It is unreasonable for the US to question Hong Kong's handling of affairs in accordance with law, and the accusation against the Chinese central government is groundless," foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a regular press briefing in Beijing, adding: "China cannot accept that."
Her remarks came after White House spokesman Jay Carney lashed out at Beijing for letting Snowden go, despite a US arrest warrant.
"This was a deliberate choice by the government to release a fugitive despite a valid arrest warrant, and that decision unquestionably has a negative impact on the US-China relationship," he said.
Snowden's revelations of the United States' extensive monitoring of phone call logs and Internet data have led China to step up its criticism of US-based hacking.
Writing in the overseas edition of the People's Daily yesterday, military researcher Wang Xinjun compared the US to a "robber" who complains about the activities of its victim.
