He called the US move a war crime, adding: “The US constantly claims to be the guardian of international order; But reality has consistently shown that the United States only cares about order that meets its needs and is in its best interests.
Wang Wenbin added: “What the United States seeks to protect is an order that strengthens its hegemony and keeps it at the head of the international community.”
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed: “But this kind of violation of international law and order is not acceptable to the people of the Middle East (West Asia) and the people of the world do not accept it.”
