[Global Times-Global Network Reporter Wang Panpan] Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying hosted a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 30th. BBC reporters repeatedly asked China to condemn Australian soldiers for killing civilians in Afghanistan. . The reporter asked a question that China has always said that it does not interfere in other countries' internal affairs, and also asks other countries not to interfere in China's internal affairs. This matter obviously does not directly involve China, it is a matter between Australia and Afghanistan. Does this mean that China has changed its position?
Hua Chunying said that the question just now is not like the BBC’s usual style. Are you so concerned about this question because you are Australian? For many so-called "human rights cases" that were fabricated and did not exist in China, including Australia and the United Kingdom where the BBC headquarters is located, they have never hesitated or hesitated to stand up and make various accusations against China. Although it is a purely unwarranted charge. But this time, some Australian soldiers have committed ferocious crimes in Afghanistan. There is hard evidence, and even the investigation report of the Australian Ministry of Defense has clearly admitted. Well, this issue is no longer a country’s internal affairs. I have already said that it should be strongly condemned by all conscientious and upright people in the world. Don’t you feel it? Don't you think this kind of crime committed by these Australian soldiers should not be condemned? Don't you think that Prime Minister Morrison and the Australian government have no right and wrong on this issue and should be questioned? Do you think that on this issue, China strongly condemns Australian soldiers for committing such atrocious crimes in Afghanistan. Is there any problem? This issue is related to human rights, but does it have any relation to internal affairs?
Hua Chunying said that China has always advocated fairness and justice in matters that violate human conscience and international fairness and justice. I think if you are not prejudiced, the BBC should also join in condemning the brutal crimes committed by some Australian soldiers in Afghanistan. This is what media with a conscience, fairness, objective and social responsibility should do, and I also It is hoped that the media, including the BBC, when they encounter human rights issues in the future, they should not only point their cameras at China to pick the bones of the eggs, but also broaden their vision. Regarding human rights violations in some Western countries, you should increase your reporting. You should not turn a blind eye, turn a blind eye, or remain silent and selectively lose your voice.
