BEIJING - China on Wednesday condemned an incident in Nigeria in which more than 100 schoolgirls were kidnapped by armed gunmen and voiced firm support for the Nigerian government.
China strongly condemns and opposes terrorism in all forms, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying, referring to the raid on the Girls College in Chibok Town in northeastern Nigeria on Monday.
