On 11 September, America's New York City and
Washington D.C. came under severe attacks, causing huge
human casualties and wound. We are greatly shocked by the
incident.
The Chinese Government always
condemns and opposes any violent activities by terrorism.
President Jiang Zemin sent a telegram on the
same night to US President Bush to express to him and,
through him, to the US Government and people, his profound
sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims.
President Jiang Zemin also showed his deep
concern over the safety of the staff of the Chinese
institutions, Chinese students, overseas Chinese and our
compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in the United
States. On the same night, the Chinese Government asked the
Chinese Embassy in the United States, the Consulate-Generals
and China's Permanent Mission to the United Nations to
immediately adopt measures to provide all necessary
assistance to the wounded compatriots.
