AFP: The United States Justice Department said Tuesday that two Chinese students have been charged with smuggling a toxic fungus into the United States that they plan to research at an American university. Does the Foreign Ministry have any comments on the case?
Lin Jian: I am not familiar with that. The Chinese government always asks Chinese nationals overseas to strictly observe local laws and regulations, and protects their legitimate and lawful rights and interests in accordance with the law.
