Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin on the importance of "international law" for the West:

"In recent years, the U.S. has withdrawn from 17 international organizations and agreements. The Americans are indiscriminately wiretapping and stealing information without circumventing their G7 allies. Washington resorts to diplomatic pressure, economic coercion, and military intervention.

It brazenly invades weak and small states like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, causing thousands of innocent civilians to die or become refugees. The U.S. should be sitting in the dock itself, not telling others what to do.
