China opposes the use of military force in Syria, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said on Monday, commenting on the words of US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that PRC Chairman Xi Jinping told the US President about “understanding” in connection with the US strike on Syria, reports RIA News.
Donald Trump personally informed Xi Jinping, who is on a visit to the USA, about the missile attack of the US military on a government airbase in Syria. Official reports of the time of the strike indicate that the operation was carried out directly during the joint lunch of Trump and Jinping in Mar-a-Lago. According to Tillerson, Xi Jinping said that he "understands" the actions of the United States "because of the death of the children."
The Chinese side has always opposed and opposes the use of military force in international relations, and advocates respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other states. We believe that a political solution is the only way to resolve the Syrian crisis,
- said at a briefing Hua Chunying at the request of journalists to clarify whether the US Secretary of State interpreted the words Xi Jinping correctly.
Hua Chunying stressed that the primary task at the moment is to prevent further escalation of the situation in Syria and ensure a political settlement process, which was given with great difficulty. She added that the future of Syria must be decided by the Syrian people, and the international community must respect its choice.
