The Chinese side on the second anniversary of Soleimani's assassination: The US whitewashes brutality with "rules-based international order"

　　China News Service, Beijing, January 4 (Reporter Li Jingze) On the second anniversary of the assassination of Soleimani, the former commander of the Holy City Brigade in Iran, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated in Beijing on January 4 that the United States can violate international law. Using terrorism to carry out "targeted eradication" in sovereign countries can kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people around the world. The illegal and brutal acts in the eyes of these people are all whitewashed by the United States with "rules-based international order."

　　A reporter asked questions. According to reports, on January 3, the Iranian people held a rally to commemorate Soleimani, the former commander of the Iraqi Holy City Brigade who died in an airstrike by the US two years ago.

The Iranian representative to the United Nations previously stated that the US act was state terrorism.

Iranian President Leahy stated that the responsible persons in the United States should be tried.

What is China's comment?

　　Wang Wenbin said that he had noticed relevant reports that the assassination of Soleimani was another example of the United States' wanton destruction of the norms of international relations based on the UN Charter, and one of the war crimes committed by the United States by abusing force.

The U.S. can violate international law and use terrorist means to carry out "targeted eradication" in sovereign states, and it can kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people all over the world. However, the U.S. uses "rules-based international order" for the illegal and brutal acts in the eyes of the world. Whitewash.

　　Wang Wenbin said that the United States has repeatedly claimed to maintain a "rules-based international order," but facts have repeatedly shown that what the United States really cares about is only rules that meet the needs of the United States and serve the interests of the United States. Order above the international community.

"But this kind of violation of the rules and order of international law will not be accepted by the people of the countries in the Middle East, and the people of all countries in the world will not accept it either." (End)
