On Wednesday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry called on the US to review and correct its bad records on migrant issues, to take measures to protect the human rights of refugees and migrants and prevent tragedies such as that of the Texas migrant deaths from reoccurring.
At least 51 migrants have died after being trapped inside a sweltering tractor-trailer truck found abandoned in Texas, authorities said on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at Wednesday's media briefing that this tragedy was heartbreaking, but it was even more regrettable that such tragic deaths of migrants and refugees are not a rare occurrence in the US.
