Beijing, 11 feb (EFE).- China consideró hoy una "decisión errónea" the international arrest warrant issued by a Spanish judge against five former Chinese leaders, including former president Jiang Zemin, for crimes of genocide in Tibet and warned Spain that the management of the case will have effects on the bilateral relationship.

The reform that Congress addresses today restricts the conditions under which the Spanish justice system can investigate crimes committed outside the national territory., like the repression in Tibet.
If approved, The case against the former Chinese leaders could be paralyzed, which the foreign media have echoed although the Chinese media have remained completely silent.
"Si este asunto puede gestionarse de manera apropiada o no, guarda relación con el desarrollo saludable de los lazos", Hua said today, que expresó la esperanza de su país de que "el Gobierno español sepa distinguir lo correcto de lo equivocado".

Among them is Jiang, who, although officially removed from power, still maintains enormous influence within the Communist Party and the Government.
With your decision, the judge complies with the established process, since the fourth section of the Criminal Chamber of the National Court urged him last November to issue arrest warrants for the five.
"Espero que todas las partes, including our friends from the press, puedan distinguir lo correcto de lo equivocado y ver claramente el daño que causa la decisión errónea de las instancias españolas", Hua said at the press conference.
También expresó la esperanza de Pekín de que España pueda ver "más allá" de la "manipulación de la realidad" cometida por grupos independientes tibetanos a través de "rumores" what, in your opinion, They are using Spanish territory to achieve their political objectives.
La portavoz china aseguró que Pekín y Madrid están en "estrecho contacto", "como de costumbre".
In addition to Jiang's arrest, Judge Moreno also ordered the arrest of Li Peng, Chinese prime minister at the end of the years 80 and principles of 90; Qiao Shi, former head of Chinese security and head of police; Chen Kuiyuan, Secretary of the Communist Party of China in Tibet between 1992 and 2001, Peng Peyuyu, Minister of Family Planning in the years 80 of the 20th century.
The five meet, for now, in unknown location, according to the judge's order, yes ok, according to observers, It is rare - or very unlikely- who are outside of China, due to the unwritten rule that makes it difficult for former Chinese leaders to travel abroad.
