China's embassy in Paris on Wednesday called on France not to violate human conscience by accusing those who blame war atrocities on the torture and killing of civilians as "prejudiced."
The embassy was responding to comments made by the French Foreign Ministry regarding a tweet by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian about Australian troops' killing of Afghan civilians.
Zhao's tweet is an objective comment based on the facts and the pictures he cites are caricatures of computer cartoons created by Chinese folk painters based on the facts, the embassy said.
