The Chinese Foreign Ministry and the Chinese Consulate General in Osaka will pay close attention to the issue of nine female Chinese students in Japan being watched by a hidden camera, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao in Beijing on June 3.

When asked to comment on the event that happened on May 9, Liu said at a regular press conference that the nine Chinese girls had reported to the police after finding the camera in their dressing room, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry had asked the Chinese Consulate General in Osaka to dispatch officials to the spot.

The consulate officials met the nine Chinese students and lodged representation for the local police, noting that this event severely infringed on Chinese students' human rights, Liu said.

The Chinese side demanded the Japanese police to carefully investigate the event and to deal with the event fairly in line with the Japanese law, Liu said.
