China hopes South Korea will take effective measures to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens and institutions, its foreign ministry said on Wednesday.

The comments were made in response to a question about South Korea's brief imposition of martial law and its potential impact on China-South Korea relations and the security situation on the Korean Peninsula.
