中国是法治国家，一贯依法保护在华外国公民的安全与合法权益，我们鼓励和支持中外正常的交流与合作。只要遵守中国法律法规，任何在中国的外国公民都无需有任何不必要的安全担心。事实上，我们也一直在努力为在华外国公民提供一切可能的便利，让他们在中国生活得安心，工作得舒心。我们要求美方停止限制和打压两国正常人员交往的错误做法，以免进一步损害中美关系。

China is a country ruled by law. We protect the safety and legal rights and interests of foreign citizens in China in accordance with law and encourage and support normal exchange and cooperation with other countries. No foreign citizens, as long as they abide by Chinese laws and regulations, have any cause to worry about their security. The truth is that we have been trying our best to make it as convenient and comfortable as possible for foreign citizens living and working in China. We demand the US stop erroneous behaviors that restrict and oppress the normal people-to-people exchange between the two countries lest it should further harm China-US relations.
