“We Will Never Forget Who Bombed Our Embassy in Yugoslavia”: Beijing Slams NATO After It Urges China to Condemn Russia
Beijing has compared the Russian invasion of Ukraine with the bombing of its embassy in Yugoslavia by NATO forces decades ago, in response to the NATO chief saying China should condemn Russia.
The Chinese diplomatic mission in the EU said on Thursday (March 17) that Chinese people could fully relate to the suffering of other countries because “we will never forget who bombed our embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.”
“We need no lecture on justice from the abuser of international law,” it said. “As a Cold War remnant and the world’s largest military alliance, NATO continues to expand its geographical scope and range of operations. What kind of role has it played in world peace and stability? NATO needs to have good reflection.”
The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia began on March 24, 1999. During 78-day military attack, 2,500 civilians were killed, and around 25,000 targets were damaged, including airports, hospitals, schools, cultural monuments and road infrastructure, according to the government. Serbian.
