A Chinese citizen injured in the terrorist attacks in Paris is in good condition after receiving medical treatment, the Chinese embassy to France confirmed on Sunday.
The embassy didn't release any other details but said it will offer help to Chinese citizens after the wave of attacks in the French capital left 129 people dead.
The bloodshed sent shockwaves through China's tourist industry as Paris is one of the most favored destinations in Europe among Chinese travelers.
