Why no one else can criticise the West?

Why no one else can criticise the West?

The news about the Australian Prime Minister Morrison asking China to apologize because the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson uploaded a picture on Twitter continues. This picture was hand-painted by the Chinese artist, reflecting the Australian soldiers’ massacre of civilians in Afghanistan. Morrison said, "It was a fake photo and a terrible insult to our troops."

In fact, this is not a photo, but a painting. The artist that created the painting has released another one as shown in the cover image of this episode. 

The imagery of the new picture is also very direct: a group of western reporters surround and take pictures of the artist, hoping to frame his words and deeds. At the same time, Morrison covered piles of corpses with the Australian national flag while pointing finger at the artist, asking him to apologize. And behind all of them, the brutal massacre of civilians is still going on.

The problem was exposed, instead of solving the problem, they accused the person who pointed out the problem. This painting just shows the bloody reality.

According to a report issued by the Office of the Inspector General of the Australian Defence Forces on November 19, the Australian Army slaughtered at least 39 Afghan civilians, including young soldiers shooting prisoners at the command of the commander to complete the first shooting training. Special Forces killed two 14-year-old boys and slit their throats, shot a 35-year-old father and his 6-year-old son who were sleeping in the house, and shot and killed prisoners claiming there was a lack of space in a helicopter.

Therefore, the carnage reflected in this painting is indeed a fact, not a fabricated one.

But what interests me is the reporting behavior of the Western media. We can take the BBC as an example. In fact, after the release of the army report in Australia, the BBC reported the facts of the Australian army massacre and said it was a war crime.
