author:Xinhua

From July 18 to 22, a foreign ministry spokesman answered reporters' questions about the former US president's national security adviser's admission to helping plan coups in other countries, the US military's theft of Syrian oil, and the US State Department's "annual human trafficking report" to neutralize itself to attack other countries, exposing the bad track of human rights abuses in the United States.

How did the spokesperson denounce it? Let's take a look:

When this former senior US official talked about his experience in planning coups in other countries, he had no scruples and was quite proud, which showed that the overthrow of other countries' regimes had penetrated deep into the marrow of US foreign policy.

Wang Wenbin: Overthrowing other regimes has penetrated deeply into the marrow of US foreign policy

In response to bolton, former US President's national security adviser Bolton, who recently admitted in an interview that he had helped plan coups in other countries, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular news conference on July 18 that the former senior US official had no scruples and was quite proud when talking about his experience in planning coups in other countries, which showed that the overthrow of other countries' regimes has penetrated deeply into the marrow of US foreign policy.

Wang Wenbin said that In his book "Covert Regime Change: America's Secret Cold War," An associate professor at Boston College in the United States, O'Rourke wrote that in the 42 years from 1947 to 1989, the United States carried out 64 covert regime change actions and 6 open actions. After the end of the Cold War, the subversive behavior of the US regime did not relent. Over the years, the United States has created political turmoil in Latin America, been involved in political turmoil in the Middle East such as the "Arab Spring," and instigated "color revolutions" in Eurasia.

"Bolton's remarks show that the US politicians advocate a 'rules-based international order' to ensure that the United States can arbitrarily interfere and subvert other countries." Wang Wenbin said that such "rules" and "order" are undoubtedly what Bolton and the like hope to vigorously maintain, but they are not allowed by the people of the world.

Facts have repeatedly shown that those countries that shout the most about "defending human rights" are precisely the "executioners" who kill the most innocent people; Those countries that are most emboldened in attacking the human rights situation in other countries should sit on the "dock" of human rights in the world.

The Foreign Ministry spokesman called on the international community to thoroughly investigate anglo-American war crimes and human rights violations

Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on July 18 that the international community should conduct a thorough investigation into the war crimes and human rights violations committed by britain and the United States, and give justice to those innocent lives, so that people of all countries will no longer be arbitrarily bullied and hurt.

At a regular press conference on the same day, a reporter asked: According to media reports, members of the British "special air service regiment" stationed in Afghanistan had killed prisoners of war and unarmed civilians on many occasions, and even launched a "killing contest." In addition, the investigation also found that the relevant troops were suspected of forging the scene and the commander did not report it. Do you have any comment on this?

"The reports are shocking and infuriating. In connection with the previously exposed killings of civilians by U.S. and Australian soldiers in Afghanistan, the atrocities of the United States and its allies in trampling on human rights and insulting conscience are not isolated cases, but long-term, systemic and common phenomena. Wang Wenbin said.

Between 2003 and 2008, thousands of Iraqi civilians were reportedly abused by British soldiers, detained, beaten, insulted, sexually assaulted and even killed, Wang said. In the past two decades, the United States has launched more than 90,000 air strikes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and other countries, and the highest number of civilians killed in air strikes may reach 48,000. Farmers in the harvest, children frolicking in the streets, families fleeing the fighting, and villagers hiding in buildings are all targeted by U.S. troops.

Wang Wenbin said that what is even worse is that instead of reviewing its own atrocities, the United States and Britain have done everything possible to perfunctorily blame. It has been reported that the British Parliament implemented the Overseas Action Act last year to shield British servicemen who committed serious crimes such as torture overseas, hindering the full accountability of perpetrators. The UK Ministry of Defence claims to have conducted extensive investigations into the behaviour of British soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq, but 90 per cent of war crimes allegations go unaddressed. Previously, several ICC officials who tried to investigate U.S. military war crimes in Afghanistan were sanctioned by the U.S. government.

"Facts have repeatedly shown that those countries that shout the loudest 'defending human rights' are precisely the 'executioners' who have killed the most innocent people; those countries that have the most vigorous attacks on the human rights situation in other countries should sit on the 'dock' of human rights in the world." Wang Wenbin said that the international community should thoroughly investigate the war crimes and human rights violations committed by Britain and the United States, and give justice to those innocent lives that have been lost, so that the people of all countries will no longer suffer arbitrary bullying and harm.

The US side has always advocated the highest standards in human rights and the rule of law. However, what the US side has done in Syria shows that the United States has failed in both upholding human rights and the rule of law.

Wang Wenbin commented on the US military's theft of Syrian oil: banditry

According to reports, the US military has once again stolen oil from occupied Syrian oil wells and transported it to northern Iraq in recent days, which is the third similar incident this month. Syrian Oil and Mineral Resources Minister Bassam Tuma has previously criticized the United States and its allies for stealing Syria's oil and food "like pirates," seriously damaging the Syrian economy.

In this regard, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on July 20 that the US behavior is really an act of banditry.

Wang Wenbin said that at present, 90% of Syria's population lives below the poverty line, two-thirds of the population relies on humanitarian assistance to survive, and more than half of the population is unable to get food security. The US military still occupies the main grain-producing and oil-producing areas in Syria, looting and plundering Syria's national resources, making the local humanitarian crisis worse. Some angry Syrians say that the United States has come for interests and left without interests, and their presence in Syria itself is a manifestation of terrorism.

"The U.S. side has always advocated the highest standards in human rights and the rule of law. However, what the US side has done in Syria shows that the United States has failed in both upholding human rights and the rule of law. Wang Wenbin said that the United States should respect Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, respond to the voice of the Syrian people, immediately lift unilateral sanctions on Syria, immediately stop plundering Syrian national resources, give an account to the Syrian people as soon as possible, and make up for the harm caused to the Syrian people with practical actions.

Year after year, the US side has disregarded the facts and concocted false "reports" on the issue of human trafficking to deceive the world. In fact, the United States is the world's number one human trafficking power.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: The United States is the world's number one major human trafficker

In response to the US State Department's recent release of the "Annual Human Trafficking Report" to neutralize itself and attack other countries, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular news conference on July 20 that the US side has ignored the facts year after year and concocted false "reports" on the issue of human trafficking to deceive the world. In fact, the United States is the world's number one human trafficking power.

Wang Wenbin said that no matter how much the US side disguises itself, it will not be able to wash away the historical original sin of its "slave trading country." As a country of only 246 years of history, slavery has lasted for one-third of the history of the United States to be "legal" in the United States. Between 1514 and 1866, at least 36,000 "slave expeditions" sold millions of black slaves to the United States.

Wang Wenbin said that no matter how the US side defends itself, it cannot change its actual guilt of "the country of origin, transit and destination of forced labor." There are serious cases of human trafficking in both legal and illegal industries in the United States. The U.S. State Department estimates that as many as 100,000 people are trafficked from abroad to the United States for forced labor each year. Over the past five years, all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia have reported cases of forced labor and human trafficking. According to the statistics of the "National Human Trafficking Reporting Hotline" in the United States, the number of reported cases increased from more than 3,200 to more than 11,500 from 2012 to 2019, showing a significant upward trend. About 50 percent of the 100,000 people who are trafficked from abroad to the United States for forced labor each year are underage children. Not long ago, there was a tragic illegal immigrant "death van" tragedy in Texas, usa, which killed at least 50 people.

"Even in this case, the US report also glorifies itself as a 'class of countries,' which is self-inflicted humiliation." Wang Wenbin said, "We urge the US side to reflect its emphasis on human rights in the actual action of correcting human rights crimes such as human trafficking and forced labor committed by the US side, and to examine itself with the 'highest standards' boasted by the US side, rather than smearing and smearing other countries." ”
