Chinese state media calls for the world to sue US over gun crime and ‘terrorism’
A Chinese state-run media outlet published an article this week in which select “experts” called for countries around the world to sue the U.S. for gun crimes and racial unrest that they say is causing terrorism around the world.
On Wednesday, China’s state-run Global Times tabloid cited unnamed “analysts” who said the U.S. should be treated as the “biggest producer of the terrorism” in the world. They further encourage victims around the world to sue the U.S. government through any relevant international legal institutions.
Throughout the article, the Global Times cited unnamed “analysts” and Lü Xiang — a researcher on the U.S. at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences — who argued a link between gun crimes and race-related conflict in the U.S. and violence and war around the world.
“Analysts said the U.S. government who fails to protect its own people from gun shootings and spreads chaos worldwide is the ‘biggest producer of the terrorism,’ whether within or outside the U.S.,” the Global Times article reads.
The article goes on to state, “The [U.S.] president is unable to solve the problem and the two-party political structure of Congress just makes all gun control efforts about ‘fixing the surface’ and a gun ban is impossible for the country with such a special culture and an ‘out-of-date’ Constitution, analysts said.”
Global Times then went on to quote Lü saying U.S. politicians are sincere about addressing gun violence within the country “but on the issue of weapons exports to other countries that would kill non-Americans, U.S. politicians never care, and they even try to maximize their profits.” The article then notes examples of U.S. lawmakers owning stock in U.S. and aerospace firms like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon
