BEIJING - China's Foreign Ministry has confirmed on Thursday it will do all it can to ensure the safe return of two citizens kidnapped in Pakistan, and promised new measures would be put in place to protect Chinese people and companies positioned in South Asia. Two Chinese language teachers, based in the Pakistani township of Jinnah, Quetta city, in the southwestern province of Baluchistan, were captured by gunmen pretending to be police on Wednesday, according to a report by a Pakistan newspaper, The Dawn, on Thursday. The article stated three Chinese citizens - two women and a man - were intercepted by three people in a white car while leaving a language center and forced them into the vehicle at gunpoint. The report also said the kidnappers were waiting for the individuals in the car, which was parked on the roadside, citing witness accounts and closed-circuit television camera footage.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said at a regular briefing in Beijing on Thursday that China had asked Pakistani authorities to take all necessary measures and do their best to rescue those who have been kidnapped. We will also take further actions to ensure the safety of Chinese individuals and organizations in Pakistan, he said. debossed wristbandwellies and wristbandscustom wristbands no minimumrubber bracelets custom cheapbracelet maker online
During a recent visit to Shenzhen, Guangdong province, filmmaker JT Singh noticed how the sound of packing tape can be heard at all times throughout Huaqiangbei, the massive electronics hub located at the heart of the city.In this digital age where Chinese are furiously shopping online, workers at places like Huaqiangbei pack hundreds of boxes of customer orders every day, and in the process expend massive amounts of packing tape.This incident has since spurred Singh to produce a short film to explore how this practice affects the environment.
