The message said that " We are extremely shocked to learn of the horrific and disastrous attacks on the United States Tuesday. On behalf of CPAFFC, we wish to express our sincere condolences and profound sympathy to you, and through you, to other friends in your organization."
"We, the Chinese people, strongly condemn this barbarian terrorist action, which is not only against the American people, but also against all peace-loving human beings. We firmly believe that the Americans are great and strong people and will get through shortly," according to the message.
