What they say

China Entrepreneur Club: "No matter which religion the attackers are from, their attacks on civilians are anti-humanity. The French people will get through these tough moments and win the fight against terrorism with support from people around the world."

Zhang Jing, 27, from Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region: "Terrorist activity is closer to us than we think. The terrorists should be punished the same way, no matter whether it happens in China or in other countries. Chinese people are showing support for France when tragedy happened there, and I hope we can see the same support if the same thing happened in China."

Famous Chinese social media blogger using the web name "Pretend to be in New York": "I cannot look at the pictures of the scenes of the attacks because I simply cannot bear it. Nov 13 is the second September 11. An attack has once again wounded the world. We shouldn't pray, but find out what went wrong and what made the French national security system fail. Paris has gone dark today but it will be lit up again."
