US and its allies highhanded action in disregard of multinational system

THE UNITED STATES, the United Kingdom and France carried out military strikes against Syria without the authorization of the United Nations Security Council. Beijing Youth Daily commented on Monday:

The action of the US and its allies drives home the message that their advocating of a multilateral system is only lip service to disguise the law of the jungle that they truly act upon.

Even before the investigation into the suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria, which the three countries said they supported, the US and its allies have judged the Syrian government to be the culprit.
