China has admonished the United States over the killing of African American George Floyd after a cop, Derek Chauvin, knelt on his neck.
China, through its foreign ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian, sees the handling of the protests greeting the killing as hypocritical.
Lijian noted,”Black people’s lives are also lives. Their human rights must also be guaranteed.
“Racism against ethnic minorities in the US is a chronic disease of American society.
“The current situation reflects once more the severity of the problems of racism and police violence in the US.”
“Why does the US lionize the so-called Hong Kong independence and black violence elements as heroes and activists, while calling people who protest against racism ‘rioters’?”
