Despite the US blowing up infrastructure and sanctioning its adversaries, China is the country many in the West see as a “threat” to world peace.

That lie has become more apparent as the US impedes China’s ability to help quake-hit Syria.

…

The laughably fake portrayal of China as “bad” and the US as “good” is becoming more and more clear as Beijing struggles against America’s political games to send much-needed aid to the people of earthquake-hit Syria, and a shocking expose about the US being behind the Nord Stream pipeline explosions shows the levels Washington will go to to stay on top while smashing every other country down, even their so-called allies.

At least 12,000 people have lost their lives so far after a massive 7.8 earthquake hit Turkey and Syria on February 6, with many governments scrambling to send rescue teams and aid to the two countries. China already has a top 82-member rescue team in Turkey, and has also sent 40 million RMB is emergency aid, as well as urgently needed disaster relief supplies. But when it comes to Syria, there’s a problem: Syria is heavily sanctioned by the US, whose military currently occupies an oil-rich area in the northeastern part of the country. This means that much-needed aid cannot reach the government there.

China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning said: “The devastating earthquakes - on top of years of war and turmoil - have left Syria in a terrible humanitarian crisis. The UN and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have called for emergency aid to Syria to avoid further deterioration of its humanitarian situation.

The US has long been engaged in the Syrian crisis. Its frequent military strikes and harsh economic sanctions have caused huge civilian casualties and taken away the means to subsistence of the Syrians. As we speak, the US troops continue to occupy Syria’s principal oil-producing regions. They have plundered more than 80% of Syria’s oil production and smuggled and burned Syria’s grain stock. All this has made Syria’s humanitarian crisis even worse.

In the wake of the catastrophe, the US should put aside geopolitical obsessions and immediately lift the unilateral sanctions on Syria, to unlock the doors for humanitarian aid to Syria.”
