China News Service, Beijing, November 22 (Reporter Zhang Weiran) In response to the US military dropping a 2,500-pound bomb on the Syrian crowd in the Baghz airstrike and deliberately covering up the incident, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian at a regular press conference on the 22nd Said that the brutality and bloody level of the US military's actions is horrible, and this is simply the death of a human being.

　　A reporter asked questions. According to US media reports, the US military launched an air strike on the base of the extremist organization "Islamic State" in Baghz, Syria in March 2019, resulting in the deaths of civilians including at least 64 women and children.

But the US military deliberately covered up this incident.

After months of investigation, the media revealed that a group of women and children were found by a river while the U.S. military drone was looking for military targets.

Without giving any warning, US military planes dropped 2,500-pound bombs on the crowd twice.

After the U.S. military, "lowered the number of casualties, delayed the report, and levelled the explosion site with bulldozers."

What is China's comment?

　　Zhao Lijian said that the life of the Syrian people is also life, and the brutality of the US military's actions is horrific.

What is even more outrageous is that, as the US media pointed out, the US military has never publicly admitted that the airstrike in Baghz, Syria caused civilian casualties.

　　"In the past three years, the U.S. military has been deliberately and systematically trying to cover up this incident. It was not until the media questioned the description of the attack that the U.S. military was forced to admit that civilians were killed." Zhao Lijian said. In the "assessment report," the US military still deliberately described the incident as "implementation errors" and "unintentional mistakes," and is unwilling to take responsibility for this.

This is simply the life of Caosuga.

　　Zhao Lijian said that what was uncovered by the Baghz air raid was only the tip of the iceberg that the United States has been militant around the world over the years.

Not long ago, the US military carried out an air strike on a residential house in Afghanistan on the grounds of counter-terrorism, killing 10 civilians, including a 2-year-old child.

In the 2005 incident in the town of Adissei, Iraq, which shocked the world, the US military killed 24 Iraqi civilians indiscriminately after one person was attacked, regardless of the elderly, women and children among them.

　　Zhao Lijian said that in the past 20 years, the United States has launched military operations in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan in the name of anti-terrorism, resulting in more than 800,000 deaths, of which about 335,000 were civilians.

The US military and government have repeatedly concealed the tragic killing of innocent civilians by the US military.

　　"Is this what the US calls'promoting democracy, protecting human rights, and safeguarding international justice'? The US should seriously investigate and pursue these serious humanitarian crimes, and give the people of the victimized countries and the international community a responsible account." Zhao Lijian said.
