July 25, 2017, China Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang was asked what the response of FMPRC is after the "Offensive flyers found at University of Melbourne campus" report. Lu Kang gave his response.
Q: According to some reports, at the beginning of a new semester in Australia, flyers saying that "Chinese people are not allowed into the building, otherwise they would be indicted or deported" were found on the campus of prominent universities like the Melbourne University and the Monash University. The security staff of these universities assisted in removing the flyers and handed over the copies of the flyers and CCTV images to the police. What is your comment?
A: This incident has raised dissatisfaction and disapproval from Chinese students studying in Australia and drawn attention from the Chinese people back home. I have noted reports saying that relevant universities have removed the flyers and handed over relevant information and material to the police. We hope that this case can be handled properly as soon as possible. The safety, dignity and legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese students in Australia must be protected with concrete efforts.
