Beijing, October 10 (Xinhua) — American agencies are senselessly harassing, interrogating, and deporting Chinese citizens, and China expresses its serious dissatisfaction and resolute condemnation of these actions, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Friday.

Recently, another Chinese citizen was reportedly searched, detained, and deported by the American authorities upon entering the United States, with his personal freedom restricted for more than 48 hours.

Commenting on these reports, Guo Jiakun stated at a regular press briefing that despite China's repeated and stern warnings, US agencies are senselessly harassing, interrogating, and deporting Chinese citizens using harsh law enforcement methods.

These actions seriously harm the legitimate rights, interests, and dignity of the affected Chinese citizens and significantly impede normal humanitarian exchanges between China and the United States. China expresses its grave dissatisfaction with this and strongly condemns such actions, the official spokesperson noted.

“We call on US law enforcement agencies to immediately cease this misguided practice, return to the right path of implementing the important agreements between the leaders of the two countries and maintaining friendly exchanges between the peoples of the two countries, and take effective steps to prevent the recurrence of such incidents,” he said.

“China will remain firmly committed to protecting the just and legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens overseas and once again reminds those traveling to the United States to remain vigilant about relevant risks,” Guo Jiakun concluded. –0–
