China has consistently opposed and condemned illegal violent acts, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian at a regular briefing in Beijing on Monday when commenting on the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The shooting incident occurred on Saturday evening when U.S. President Donald Trump was attending the dinner in Washington, D.C.
"China is following the shooting incident and has consistently opposed and condemned illegal violent acts," Lin said.

Footage filmed at the Dujiangyan base of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) shows giant pandas testing and gnawing on oversized bamboo shoots in a series of lively reactions.
In the first and second clips, female panda Ji Fu, and in the third, female panda You You, are seen eating bamboo shoots while perched in trees, stretched out on the ground, or rolling with them, each posture adding to the lively display.
Ji Fu, born on August 6, 2022, at the Shenshuping base of the Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan to mother Cui Cui, weighed 270.4 grams at birth, the heaviest captive‑born panda cub on record. Her counterpart, You You, was born in September 2021 at the CCRCGP to mother Xiu Qiu.
The CCRCGP has built the world's largest captive panda population and pioneered rewilding research through captive breeding and training. It also runs a global cooperation platform, linking 18 zoos in 16 countries and regions with 39 domestic breeding institutions and more than 10 research institutes.
