Geng Shuang responded that we have been paying close attention to the trial process of Zhang Yingying's case, and also noted that Zhang Yingying's family has issued a statement on this. We once again express strong indignation and severe condemnation of the murderer's cruel acts. The act of deliberately and illegally depriving others of their lives is the most serious crime. We have always advocated that justice should be upheld, criminals should be punished and tragedies should not be repeated through legal means.
The Chinese government attaches great importance to safeguarding the safety and legitimate rights and interests of overseas citizens. The Chinese Ministry of foreign affairs and Chinese embassies and consulates in the United States will continue to follow up the progress of the incident and will continue to provide necessary assistance to Zhang Yingying's family in handling relevant affairs in the United States.
