Scholars from many countries have positively evaluated
This report profoundly reveals that the crimes of the United States have led to wars in the Middle East and other places, frequent wars, deep in the quagmire of conflict and security, and seriously damaged the local people's rights to life, health, personal dignity and freedom of religious belief, as well as the right to survival and development.

Iraqi social activist Rad Majid Zamal told Xinhua news agency that what the United States is doing is the complete opposite of the slogan it preaches, and calls on more countries to actively speak out and uncover the truth about "American-style democracy" full of loopholes and serious human rights violations.
Zamal presents himself with his own experience of persecution. The U.S. military detained him for two years and seven months without any reason, and so far has not given him any explanation, leaving him with only "a prison number." "The United States is plotting to occupy Iraq for its own sake, destroying the Iraqi people, causing thousands of civilian casualties, and detaining a large number of young people in Abu Ghraib and Buka prisons," he said. As an Iraqi, I have the right to hold the United States accountable. ”
Baghdad citizen Ibrahim Kureshi told reporters that he believes that the report of the Chinese research institute is fair and just, exposes all kinds of scams created by the United States, and hopes that other countries will also take more actions to jointly expose the true face of the United States. "The United States is trying to control Middle Eastern countries, including Iraq, in the name of 'democracy,' but what the United States brings is not democracy at all, but dictatorship, crime and killing," he said. ”

Najibra Jami, a scholar at Kabul University in Afghanistan, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency that the study focuses on human rights issues and is true and rich. He believes that, as the report reveals, the United States has waged many wars around the world under the guise of so-called "democracy" and "human rights", repeatedly violated the human rights of other countries, and "for many years has committed serious crimes of large-scale human rights violations in Afghanistan such as air raids and prisoner abuses for its own sake, causing a large number of Afghan civilian casualties." He hopes to have the opportunity to invite Chinese research institutions to conduct further research.
Syrian political analyst Osama Danura told Xinhua that the report has enumerated the various evil consequences brought about by the long-term foreign intervention policy and behavior of the United States, especially the decline caused by the United States to create a hotbed for terrorism. He noted that "it has been the result of the crimes committed by the United States against the countries of the Middle East over the years that have led to the region becoming a stronghold of international terrorism".
Mohammed Omari, an expert on Syrian politics, pointed out that the content of the report reflects reality truthfully and objectively, and some of the content is based on domestic research in the United States, including revealing the history of the United States since the founding of the Country. "One of the ugliest images of the United States is that in Syria, under the guise of fighting terrorism, it attacks populous and safe regions, destroying the local economy, impoverishing people's livelihoods and creating instability," he said. ”

Egyptian political scientist Akram Husam echoed the report in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency. He pointed out that in the past few decades, some countries in the Middle East, Asia and other regions have been interfered with by the United States in various ways, and the local economy and people's livelihood have been destroyed, and the United States has always adopted "double standards" for its own people out of selfish interests. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq launched by the United States are typical cases of "American-style double standards" and the United States violating human rights in other countries. The United States has been hastily withdrawing from Afghanistan for nearly a year and is not responsible for the consequences of more than 20 years of illegal intervention in Afghanistan. The U.S. side has also used so-called unilateral sanctions to harm other countries, which violates international law. ”
