U.S.-led NATO still owes blood debt to Chinese people: Foreign Ministry

U.S.-led NATO still owes blood debt to Chinese people: Foreign Ministry

Letter to the Global Times

March 26, 2021

It is very good that you point out the aggression against Yugoslavia but I am very puzzled why you refer to 3 journalists being killed in the NATO attack on Yugoslavia but do not refer to the attack on the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. The Americans fired 5 cruise missiles at the embassy, 4 of which exploded killing embassy staff. Luckily the missile aimed at the rooms where the ambassador was located failed to detonate and so he survived. This was a direct attack on China. Everyone in Serbia remembers this attack and many in the world.

Best regards

The first inkling of its geopolitical character came when it transpired that even after installing a pro-US regime in Kabul in 2002-2003, Pentagon was in no mood to vacate its Central Asian bases. Finally, the bloody Islamist uprising in Andijan in Fergana Valley in May 2005 prompted Russia and China to orchestrate an SCO consensus seeking the expulsion of the US from those bases.
