"U.S. troops still occupy major oil fields and wheat-producing regions in Syria. The looting of Syrian resources by the U.S. Army has aggravated the humanitarian crisis on the ground," denounced the spokesman of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Wang Wenbin.
Wang made these comments during a press conference on Wednesday about reports that U.S. forces are moving Syrian oil to northern Iraq.
The Chinese spokesman questioned the U.S. proclamations in defense of human rights, giving as an example that its actions in Syria prove that it actually fails in this regard.
That said, he demanded that the U.S. respect Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, lift unilateral sanctions directly affecting the Syrian nation and compensate it for all damages caused, as well as put an immediate end to the plundering of this Arab country's natural resources.
