On July 9, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Zhao Lijian once again reminded the majority of students studying in Australia to do a risk assessment at the regular press conference. Currently, they choose to go to Australia or return to Australia to study carefully, reminding overseas Chinese in Australia to pay attention to their own safety precautions.
A reporter asked questions, and several media reported that a number of Chinese students studying in Australia recently suffered racial discrimination and violent attacks. On July 4, a Chinese student from the University of South Australia was abused and attacked by three local men near Chinatown in Adelaide, causing serious injuries. What is China's comment?
Zhao Lijian said that the Chinese government recently issued an early warning for studying in Australia and a travel safety reminder, which is a truly responsible approach. We once again remind the vast number of overseas study personnel to do a good job in risk assessment, and currently choose carefully to study in Australia or return to Australia, and remind overseas Chinese in Australia to pay attention to their own safety precautions. We also once again urge Australia to face the problem squarely and take practical measures to safeguard and guarantee the safety and rights of Chinese citizens in Australia.
