China to the USA: "lift the Syria sanctions"


BEIJING - China said the United States "should put aside geopolitical obsession, immediately lift unilateral sanctions on Syria, and open the door for humanitarian assistance in the face of catastrophe." This was stated by Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning following the violent earthquake that shook Turkey and Syria. "The United States has long been involved in the Syrian crisis with military interventions and economic sanctions, which have resulted in a large number of civilian casualties and difficulties in the economic development and reconstruction process," the diplomat said in the daily briefing.
