Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun answered questions from reporters on August 10. A reporter asked, recently, some people of Filipino nationality have been investigated and punished on suspicion of breaking the law. Can you explain the details? Can this move be interpreted as China's response to the Philippines' frequent arrests of Chinese citizens? Guo Jiakun said that immigration authorities across the country continue to deepen the management of the “three African” foreigners in China and carry out special actions in accordance with the law. More than 100 Philippine citizens have been dealt with in accordance with the law for illegal employment and illegal residency. In the course of the special operation, immigration management personnel regulated civilized law enforcement and protected the rights and interests of the foreigners involved in the case.
