ISTANBUL: China on Tuesday called the US decision to split Afghan reserves a “robbery” and urged Washington to return the money to Afghans. The US stole money from Afghans, Hua Chunying, spokesperson of China’s Foreign Ministry, said on Twitter. “The Islamic Emirate strongly rejects Biden’s unjustified actions as a violation of the rights of all Afghans,” it added. Urging Washington to unfreeze the wealth of Afghans “unconditionally”, the Afghan interim government asked the US to “refrain from any provocative actions that can lead to more mistrust”. We want to see as much money, Afghan money, as possible back in the Afghan economy and with the Afghan people,” the UN mission said.
