This afternoon (November 30), Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying presided over a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
A reporter asked a question that Australian Prime Minister Morrison asked China to apologize for the cartoon of the Australian army killing Afghan children on Twitter by Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian, saying it was "fake" and that China should "feel shame." ashamed)". How does China respond to this?
Hua Chunying said:
Australian soldiers committed serious crimes in Afghanistan, this was reported by the Australian media itself, and it was confirmed by the Australian Ministry of Defense investigation report .
Australian Defence Force Commander Campbell held a special conference on this, introducing the content of the report. The details disclosed in the report were shocking and creepy, including shooting together adult men and boys, or blindfolding and cutting their throats, and cutting two 14-year-olds. The boy cut his throat and put it in his pocket and threw it into the river. He also asked the recruits to shoot the prisoners of war to "train his hands.
These brutal crimes of Australia have been strongly condemned and condemned by the international community.
The Australian side reacted so strongly to my colleague’s personal tweets to show that it is justified for Australian soldiers to coldly kill innocent civilians in Afghanistan, but some people condemned this cold crime. Is unreasonable?
The life of the Afghan people is also life. What the Australian government should do is to reflect deeply, bring the perpetrators to justice, make a formal apology to the Afghan people, and solemnly promise to the international community that they will never commit this terrible crime again.
You mentioned earlier that he said the Chinese government should feel ashamed. Then the Australian soldiers were sent to Afghanistan. Is an act of the Australian government?
There are soldiers in Australia who have committed such brutal crimes. Should the Australian government feel ashamed? Should
feel ashamed for their soldiers to kill innocent civilians in Afghanistan?
Zhao Lijian sent a picture
Australian Prime Minister furiously asking China to apologize
Today, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian posted a post on his overseas social account condemning the Australian military's indiscriminate killing of innocents in Afghanistan. However, this post immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction from almost the entire political arena from Australian Prime Minister Morrison to the Australian opposition party.
This morning, Zhao Lijian said in a post that he was shocked by the Australian military's murder of Afghan civilians and prisoners and strongly condemned it.
Zhao Lijian also distributed an art illustration created by Chinese artist @乌合麒麟. In the picture, an Australian soldier put a knife against the neck of an Afghan child while saying "Don't be afraid, we are here to bring you peace."
And the reason why Zhao Lijian published such a post is because two weeks ago, the supervision department of the Australian Ministry of Defence found through an internal investigation that they were sent to Afghanistan by the country’s military to carry out "counter-terrorism" missions with the US military. , There were people who indiscriminately killed civilians and prisoners who had already been arrested, and among the 39 victims who had been indiscriminately killed by Australian soldiers, there were children! The situation of
has also caused widespread reports in the Australian media and other Western media, which all mentioned the murder of children by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan.
However, it is such a pragmatic post and painting, but after its release, it has aroused dissatisfaction among many politicians in Australia, from Prime Minister Morrison to Foreign Minister Payne, and then to the senior leaders of the Australian opposition party. Morrison also asked the overseas media platform Twitter to immediately delete Zhao Lijian's posts.
However, it is gratifying that many left-wing netizens in Australia immediately saw the despicability and irony in Morrison's attack on Zhao Lijian and demanding an apology from China.
As shown in the picture below, an Australian netizen wrote: "(Zhao Lijian’s post) is not what Morrison said is “distasteful”, but based on the Australian report and the Australian military’s presence An accurate description of war crimes committed by civilians." Another Australian netizen said: Does this make Morrison angry? Then he shouldFeel the anger of the families of innocent Afghan civilians murdered by the Australian army.
Some Australian netizens also asked: Since China has said everything, Morrison, why do you continue to send Australian soldiers to Afghanistan?
An Australian left-wing scholar and journalist even sarcastically said: Compared with Australian Special Forces soldiers who committed war crimes and killed people in Afghanistan, Morrison was even more angry that China posted this.
Zhao Lijian has now "pinned" the post condemning the Australian military's indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Although his post has not been deleted by Twitter, the illustration he posted has been labeled as "contains sensitive information" by Twitter, although the image is still viewable.
