The United States participated in Afghanistan drug production?Ministry of Foreign Affairs

June 30, 2022 President Zhao Lijian, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, presided over a regular press conference

"Global Times" Reporter: Recently, the Chinese Air Force Transport-20 arrived at Kabul Airport to send disaster relief supplies to the people of Afghanistan. Some netizens thought that in August last year, the U.S. C-17 transport aircraft forcibly took off and evacuated at the Kabul Airport, causing at least two Agent to kill. Two pictures are in sharp contrast. What are the comments of the spokesman about this?

Zhao Lijian: I noticed the report. I also noticed that some comments said that they were also at Kabul Airport, two planes, one took life, and one sent hope. After the earthquake in Afghanistan, China did his best and urgent people. He decided to provide an emergency humanitarian assistance of 50 million yuan to Afghanistan in the first time. It was one of the most aid, the most real, and fastest countries to Afghanistan. As of the 29th, a total of three batches of earthquake relief materials arrived in Afghanistan. China is closely coordinated with the temporary government of Afghanistan to ensure that the relief supplies are transported into the hands of the victims as soon as possible to help the people in Afghanistan through the difficulties.

The United States is the beginning of the humanitarian disaster of Afghanistan, and has a direct responsibility for the years of war and poverty hunger. During the 20 years of invasion of Afghanistan, more than 30,000 civilians have been taken away, and 11 million people have become refugees. The United States even acquiesced, supported, and participated in Afghan drug production and trade during the invasion of Afghanistan, which led to the area of ​​poppy planting and opium production in Afghanistan far exceeding the level before the United States invaded, it nourished the proliferation of domestic drugs in Afghanistan, and seriously endangered the health of the people. What's even more outrageous is that the United States forcibly frozen the Afghan people's $ 7 billion saved money without the Afghan people's permission, which made the Afghan people's suffering from suffering. The United States is unreasonable.

In the face of natural disasters and human disasters, the United States should immediately let go of the hands that choked the people's throat of Afghanistan, returned the national property of Afghanistan as soon as possible, and made up for the damage caused by practical actions to the people's current humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.

Reporter of Broadcasting Corporation: You just said that the United States has participated in Afghan drug production. What does it mean? Do you mean that the US military participates in opium production?

Zhao Lijian: If you are interested in this issue, we can find more materials and talk about the crimes that the US army committed in Afghanistan.
