BEIJING, July 3 (Xinhua) – China urges the United States to end its illegal troop deployment in Syria and stop plundering the country’s resources, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday.

Spokesperson Mao Ning made the remarks at a daily press briefing when asked about a report alleging that the U.S. military in Syria is involved in illegal wheat transportation, using over ten trucks daily to smuggle Syria’s grains out of the country.

Mao said Syria was once a wheat exporter, but now approximately 55 percent of its people are facing food insecurity, for which the United States bears unshirkable responsibility.

Facts have proven that the United States, under the guise of anti-terrorism, has been exploiting resources, the spokesperson added.

    Some burgerlanders that I have talked to know vaguely about it. Sadly, through their propaganda and racism, they see it as “manifest destiny” or “they conquered us so we should submit”. Others go as far as say: “well, I am not affected by it so why should I care about US imperialism? My family and I are fine”.

    The lack of empathy and alienation is just too great in a huge amount of chuds and liberals alike.
