Nationwide demonstrations after the death of George Floyd have drawn criticism from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and other countries that are using the unrest to discredit the United States on the world stage.
International critics of U.S. policy are seizing on widespread protests and unrest sparked by the police killing of an unarmed black man as an opportunity to discredit the United States on the world stage.
Zhao, who also denied accusations that Beijing was actively supporting the protests via social media operations, was the latest from China to weigh in favor of the demonstrations. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying has dismissed U.S. criticism of China's Hong Kong policy by quoting Floyd's final words"I can't breathe" and several ruling Communist Party outletslecturing President Donald Trump's administration on its handling of the situation in the U.S.
On Monday, the semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Abbas Mousavi called on Washington to let the people of the U.S. breathe, also in reference to the phrase"I can't breathe," now a rallying cry both over Floyd's death, as well as that of Eric Garner, another unarmed black man who died after being shot by police in 2014.
