“We are deeply concerned by the stabbing of U.S. citizens in Jilin City, China. Our team has been in touch with these Americans and our PRC counterparts to ensure that the victims’ needs are met, & appropriate law enforcement steps are being taken,” U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in a social media statement, using the acronym of China’s official name, the People’s Republic of China. “We wish them a speedy recovery.”
