　　A reporter asked questions on the same day. According to reports, on the 24th, Serbia held a number of events to mourn the victims of NATO’s bombing of Yugoslavia 22 years ago.

Serbian President Vucic stated that Serbia will never forget what happened that year.

NATO’s attack on sovereign nations without the authorization of the UN Security Council is a terrible crime and aggression, designed to kill and humiliate us, and ultimately seize our territory.

In that 78-day attack, 2500 civilians were killed, including 79 children.

What is China's comment?

　　Hua Chunying said that NATO has a bit of a rivalry with China. Three days ago, at the NATO foreign ministers' meeting, China called China a "challenge". China would like to remind NATO that NATO still owes a blood debt to the Chinese people.

　　"NATO should not forget that in 1999, NATO, headed by the United States, severely violated relevant international law and basic norms of international relations and flagrantly bombed Yugoslavia, resulting in the death of a large number of innocent civilians, including three Chinese journalists." Hua Chunying said. , The dead are dead, but the living need more vigilance and reflection.

　　Hua Chunying pointed out that today, the historical trend of peace and development is unstoppable, but power politics and hegemonism still emerge from time to time, seriously damaging and threatening world security, stability, and international fairness and justice.

"Whether in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya or Syria, we should not forget the ordinary people who died for no reason under the repeated bombings, the crumbling walls under the artillery shells, and the splendid monuments devoured by the raging fire. ."

　　Hua Chunying said that individual countries in the United States and the West opened their mouths on "human rights" and closed their mouths to "hold responsibility."

"Then may I ask, when you brazenly waged war against sovereign countries without the authorization of the Security Council, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, and the dispersal and displacement of countless wives, have you ever cared about the human rights of the people of these countries? This is what you call the International Rules'? Do you have to be held accountable for your warfare?"

　　Hua Chunying said that in today's world, it is not whoever has big arms or big fists who have the final say. The era of bullying the small and bullying the weak is long gone.

"We call on all countries to work together to resist unilateral bullying, open the fist of violence, and turn it into a handshake to jointly maintain peace."

　　Hua Chunying pointed out that both China and Serbia are countries that defy power and cherish peace. China is willing to work with all peace-loving countries and people in the world, including Serbia, to firmly defend international fairness and justice, and jointly safeguard and promote world peace. Peace, stability and development.
