Responding to media inquiries over Kyrgyzstan's reported arrest of a Chinese CEO of a gold mining firm, which is accused of causing "large-scale" environmental damage and providing false information to authorities, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Wednesday: "We have noted relevant reports, and the Chinese Embassy in Kyrgyzstan is further verifying and learn about the specific situation."
Mao said the Chinese government has always required overseas Chinese citizens to abide by local laws and regulations and Chinese-funded enterprises to operate legally. "We also hope Kyrgyzstan will enforce the law impartially and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese-funded enterprises and Chinese citizens in Kyrgyzstan," Mao said.
