Original title: Zhao Lijian showed a cartoon when talking about human rights: what human rights does the United States protect?
China Youth Daily client, Beijing, September 15 (Zhongqing daily · zhongqing.com reporter Chen Xiaoru) it is reported that in the past 20 years, the United States has launched more than 90000 air strikes in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries, and the highest number of civilians killed in the air strikes may be 48000. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 15th that the United States has committed serious human rights crimes overseas. What human rights does the United States protect?
Zhao Lijian pointed out that the United States has committed serious human rights crimes abroad——
First, the United States instigated war with false intelligence, resulting in a painful human rights disaster. Zhao Lijian said that the United States used a small bottle of washing powder as the "evidence" of chemical weapons to launch the war in Iraq and used the video taken by the "white helmet" organization as the "evidence" to air raid Syria. In the history of more than 240 years since the founding of the people's Republic of China, the United States has not fought in only 16 years. From the end of World War II to 2001, 248 armed conflicts occurred in 153 regions in the world, of which 201 were initiated by the United States, accounting for more than 80%. Since 2001, more than 800000 people have been killed and tens of millions displaced by illegal wars and military operations launched by the United States.
Second, the United States has wantonly killed civilians in the name of counter-terrorism and owed a lot of blood debts. Zhao Lijian said that since 2001, about 335000 civilians have been killed in the war launched by the United States. Just before the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the U.S. military conducted an air raid on a residential house on the grounds of counter-terrorism, killing 10 civilians, including 2-year-old children. In the incident in adise Town, Iraq, which shocked the world in 2005, the U.S. military killed 24 Iraqi civilians, including the elderly, women and children, because only one person was attacked. It was cruel and bloody. In 2017, the United States launched the so-called "most accurate air raid" on Laka, Syria, resulting in the death of a large number of civilians. A former US soldier said that the US drone attack was purely "killing for the sake of killing".
Third, the United States has vigorously pursued unilateral sanctions, seriously endangering the human rights of the people of the countries concerned. Zhao Lijian pointed out that novel coronavirus pneumonia has been used by the United States since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, which has led to the shortage of anti epidemic materials in Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria. Food supplies are insufficient, and access to education and information is limited. Humanitarian assistance is blocked. These unilateral coercive measures without the authorization of the Security Council have brought great disasters to the survival and development of the local people.
"The facts are irrefutable and fair. It's ridiculous that the United States often flaunts the banner of 'protecting human rights'." Zhao Lijian asked the United States, "what human rights does the United States protect when it launches a war of aggression? What human rights does the United States protect when it shoots and drops bombs on civilians? What human rights does the United States protect when it waves a sanctions stick?"
At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 15th, Zhao Lijian also showed a cartoon to the participating Chinese and foreign journalists. He said that the cartoon depicts an unusual funeral in Afghanistan and the burial of seven dead children. In the center of the picture is the excavated grave. Coffins of different sizes are arranged in turn. The mourners are carrying a coffin into the grave. The real story behind the cartoon is that on August 29, the U.S. military launched an air raid, which destroyed a residential house in the Afghan capital Kabul, killing 10 people, including 7 children. Among them, Marika and sumaya were only two years old when they were bombed. The title of this cartoon is "the funeral of a two-year-old" terrorist ". After the accidental bombing, the US military only issued a statement saying that it would assess the civilian casualties caused by the air raid. After the cartoon was broadcast on the overseas social media account of Xinhua news agency, many overseas netizens sighed and wept.
