The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lin Jian, hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked: It has been reported that recently, personnel from Chinese enterprises were subjected to unwarranted questioning by the U.S. side upon entering the United States, detained for nearly sixty hours, and subsequently deported. What is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' comment on this?

Lin Jian stated that recently, U.S. law enforcement agencies have repeatedly conducted long and unreasonable questioning, detention, and deportation of personnel from Chinese enterprises. The enforcement methods are brutal, seriously infringing upon the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens, and severely undermining the normal business exchanges and cultural interactions between the two countries. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to this. China urges the U.S. side to take China's concerns seriously, demands that U.S. law enforcement agencies immediately stop their erroneous actions, cease unwarranted questioning of personnel from Chinese enterprises, and earnestly implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of both countries to ensure normal and friendly exchanges between the peoples of both countries. China will continue to take resolute and effective measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens. (CCTV)
