‘Bandit behavior’: China blasts US over reports of stolen Syrian oil
ISTANBUL (AA) – China on Wednesday said the US exhibited “bandit behavior” by what Beijing called “stealing” oil from Syria.
According to the Chinese daily Global Times, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin was responding to reports about Washington transferring “stolen oil” to northern Iraq from “occupied Syrian oilfields.”
“Bandit behavior!” Wang told a news conference in Beijing, referring to the alleged US oil activities.
Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Damascus has often accused Washington of smuggling oil out of the war-torn nation.
