Beijing, November 22 (China News Network) -- In response to a Chinese student studying at the University of Chicago in the United States who was robbed and shot to death by thugs, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular news conference on the 22nd that china urges the United States to take practical measures to thoroughly investigate the case, uphold justice, and comfort the deceased.
A reporter asked a question: Recently, the news that a Chinese student studying at the University of Chicago in the United States was robbed and shot by a mob touched the hearts of thousands of people. The victim's mother gave a sad speech at the memorial service, saying that she "went abroad for the first time in her life not to attend her son's graduation ceremony, not to attend her son's wedding, but to attend her son's funeral." What a tragic human tragedy! "What is the Foreign Ministry's comment on this?
"We are deeply shocked by the unfortunate murder of Chinese students, deeply saddened by the innocent loss of a young life, and express our deep condolences and sincere condolences to their parents." We strongly condemn the murderous acts of the mob. Zhao Lijian said.
He said that the Chinese government and Chinese embassies and consulates abroad have always attached great importance to the safety of the vast number of overseas Chinese students. We urge the US side to take practical measures to thoroughly investigate the case, uphold justice and comfort the deceased. The Chinese embassies and consulates in the United States are taking steps to provide consular assistance to the families of the people concerned.
Zhao Lijian pointed out that since the beginning of this year, the University of Chicago has had three vicious incidents in which students have been shot and killed, and two of the three victims are Chinese students. Repeated similar tragedies are inseparable from the long-standing phenomenon of gun violence in the United States. According to the latest data released by the U.S. Gun Violence Archives website, as of November 21, the number of gun violence deaths in the United States this year reached 39,892, which is likely to become the worst gun violence crime in the United States in 20 years, including 1,345 minors.
Zhao Lijian said that after the above-mentioned case, hundreds of University of Chicago students held a march, shouting "We are here to learn, not to send to death." I wonder whether the US government, which has always flaunted "freedom" and "human rights," has heard these heart-wrenching cries? How will it respond? China demands that the US Government take responsible measures to protect the personal safety of all Chinese citizens in the United States, including Chinese students, and protect them from vicious and violent crimes and anti-China acts against Asia.
