On the afternoon of September 30, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. The Director of the Ministry of National Defense Information Bureau and spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Wu Qian, answered questions from reporters.
reporter:The U.S. Central Headquarters recently admitted that the U.S. military’s air strikes in Kabul, Afghanistan at the end of August did not actually kill the so-called “terrorists,” but instead killed 10 civilians, including 7 Afghan children. what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?
Wu Qian:The fate of the Afghans is also fate. We express our deep condolences to the civilians and children killed in Afghanistan. The United States calls itself a “human rights beacon,” but its wars and military operations have caused serious humanitarian crises. According to statistics, since 2001, 335,000 civilians have been killed in wars and military operations launched by the United States. In addition, a large number of civilians have been displaced and become victims of the war. At home, the United States used the Westward Movement to expel and kill Indians, creating a veritable “American Holocaust.” There is still a serious problem of racial discrimination in the United States. In May 2020, George Floyd, an African-American man in the United States, was violently killed by white police officers in law enforcement, triggering large-scale protests and demonstrations across the country.
We cannot help asking, what human rights did the United States protect when it launched a war of aggression? When the US military police shoot and kill civilians, what human rights do they protect? When the U.S. military plane dumped Afghan youth, what human rights did it protect? Facts have proved that the United States is the real destroyer of the world order and the real violator of international human rights. The so-called “human rights beacon” of the United States should have been drained long ago.
