China is against those who resort to violence to disrupt public order,
said the country's ambassador to Malaysia Dr Huang Huikang. "The Chinese
government opposes terrorism and any form of discrimination against races and
any form of extremism,” he told reporters during his visit to Petaling Street
on Friday.

Dr Huang warned that Beijing would not fear voicing out against incidents
which threaten the interests of the country, infringe upon the rights of
its citizens in doing business, or disrupt the relationship between Malaysia
and China.
During his visit, Dr Huang, his wife, along with other officials from
the Chinese embassy presented traders with moon cakes in conjunction with the
Mid Autumn Festival.

He was impressed that Malaysia's Chinatown was not run solely by the
Chinese but also comprised of traders of various races. "Business is good
here. There are many tourists. I am proud to see Chinese traders working
closely with Malay and Indian traders in harmony in developing this area,"
he said.
He added that it would be sad if the peaceful environment was
destroyed by those with questionable intentions, referring to the planned
red-shirt rally on Saturday. Dr Huang said he was confident that the police
would ensure public order.
On another note, he said the embassy was aware of the terrorist
threat at Jalan Alor as well as travel advisories issued by the US and
Australian embassies. "We will monitor the situation closely," Dr
Huang added. – ANN
Dr. Huang had voiced out his concerns following the threat from Ultra
Malays from the leading ruling coalition party, UMNO men Datuk
Jamal where the news reported him as saying that he will be organizing
another rally of at least 5000 people to this business area and the rally may
even possibly turn into a riot.
