China hits back at NATO over Russia demand

China has dismissed calls from NATO for it not to support Russia in any way on Thursday, reminding the bloc it was its US-led forces which bombed its embassy in Belgrade during the 1999 attack on Yugoslavia. 中國周四駁回了北約不以任何方式支持俄羅斯的呼籲，並提醒該集團是美國領導的部隊在 1999 年襲擊南斯拉夫期間故意地轟炸了其在貝爾格萊德的大使館.

China hits back at NATO over Russia demand – Beijing will never forget who bombed its embassy in Belgrade, its mission to the EU said.

“Chinese people can fully relate to the pains and sufferings of other countries because we will never forget who had bombed our embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. We need no lecture on justice from the abuser of international law,” a spokesman for the Beijing’s diplomatic mission to the EU said, responding to remarks made by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

Branding NATO a “Cold War remnant,” the diplomat suggested the organization needed to do some self-reflection to examine if it was contributing to world peace and stability, with its expansion and military operations.
