BEIJING, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) — China resolutely protests to the U.S. side and calls on it to investigate and correct its mistakes in unreasonable interrogations, squalid treatment and deportation of Chinese students upon their entry into the United States, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Friday.
At a regular briefing for reporters, Mao Ning said China has made stern representations to the US side on every such case and promised to continue to take resolute measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of its citizens traveling to the US.
The United States has recently engaged in discriminatory, politically motivated and selective law enforcement measures against Chinese students arriving in the country, the spokeswoman said. Students have been subjected to unfair treatment and placed in small, isolated rooms for lengthy interrogations, she added.
Mao Ning noted that some students even had their visas cancelled and were denied entry after being told they “may pose a threat to national security.”
“The actions of the American side seriously violate the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens, hinder the movement of people between the two countries, and complicate Chinese-American humanitarian exchanges,” she stressed.
“We urge the United States to face this issue squarely, take China’s concerns seriously, act in accordance with the American leader’s statement on its readiness to welcome Chinese students and stop unreasonable interrogations, harassment and deportation of them,” Mao Ning concluded. –0–
