|Updated:
Chinese state-run media has published dozens of articles criticizing the U.S. government after the airstrike that killed Iran’s top military general, Qassim Soleimani, on Jan. 3.

The reports emphasize Iran’s stated desire to retaliate against the United States for the attack, quoting extensively from the Iranian regime’s official media and its officials, but they fail to include comments from the U.S. administration.
