Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman accused the US and its allies of siphoning resources from other countries

Zhao Lijian, deputy head of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, posted a cartoon on social media criticizing the exploitation of South American and African states by countries such as the United States and the European Union.

“These countries are not poor. These countries are rich! Only people there are poor! These countries cannot be called underdeveloped, they have suffered from excessive exploitation,” he says.

It is worth noting that the statement, published by a Chinese diplomat, was first uttered by a left-wing political scientist from the United States, Michael Parenti. On the map he published on the territory of South America and Africa, pits were dug, which are a symbol of uncontrolled, harmful and massive mining, and in the territories of North America and Europe, there are only mountains of coins.
