Q: Thai police recently stated that a Chinese citizen in Thailand is suspected of illegally possessing weapons. An investigation has been underway. What is the Chinese Embassy in Thailand's comment on this?

A: The Chinese Embassy in Thailand attaches great importance to this case. The relevant Chinese authorities are conducting verification of the information of the person involved. The Chinese government consistently requires its citizens overseas to strictly abide by local laws and regulations, and will not shield illegal or criminal activities by its citizens abroad. The Chinese government supported local judicial authorities in handling such cases in accordance with the law. China will continue strengthening law enforcement cooperation with relevant Thai government departments to jointly combat transnational crime and create a healthy and favorable atmosphere for friendly cooperation and normal exchanges between the two countries.
