China raises the stakes: US is number 1 in overthrowing governments and assassinating foreign leaders.
"As long as American hegemony and belligerence persist, the rest of the world will hardly achieve the peace it deserves," declared the Chinese government.
RT - The US plays a “destructive role” for global peace and stability, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said Thursday (23).
“The US is the number one warmonger in the world. For only 16 years, throughout its more than 240-year history, it has not been at war. The US has been involved in 80% of all armed conflicts that have occurred since World War II,” Wang pointed out.
The spokesperson also described Washington as "number one in violating sovereignties and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries." "According to documents, since the end of World War II, the US has sought to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments, fiercely interfered in the elections of at least 30 countries, and attempted to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders," Wang emphasized.
Regarding this, the diplomat added that Washington is also "the number one source of antagonisms and confrontations between blocs." He further stated that NATO, led by the US, is responsible for the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, which have claimed more than 900 lives and turned approximately 37 million people into refugees, making the Eurasian continent "a less stable place."
Other blocs led by Washington, such as the Quad and Aukus, and their role in security and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, also demand attention, Wang stated.
"As long as American hegemony and belligerence persist, the rest of the world will hardly achieve the peace it deserves," the spokesperson concluded.
