OREANDA-NEWS. The Chinese authorities support the official position of Russia and consider the existence of American biological laboratories in the territory of individual states, which were formerly republics of the Soviet Union, dangerous. This was stated on Wednesday by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, Gen Shuang.

"We drew attention to the statement of the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry. The United States has created many biological laboratories in the territory of the former Soviet Union, which causes serious concern among the population of the respective states and neighboring countries", he stressed at a regular briefing. "The local community insists on closing these facilities. We hope that the American side will take a responsible position, take into account the official concern of the world community, and take real steps to eliminate such concerns".

According to the diplomat, Washington should pay special attention to issues that are directly related to the health and well-being of the population of the countries in which American laboratories are located.
