A fresh war of words broke out between the United States of America and China over a report on religious freedom.
A recent report by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom reportedly censured Beijing's actions regarding opposition to UN resolutions on human rights violations, and alleged coercion to block China's criticism at UN by other countries.
Commenting on the accusations, China claimed that freedom of religious belief is protected in the country in accordance with law.
Beijing also accused USCIRF of having 'political prejudice' against China.
