The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Tuesday urged the United States to return Afghan assets frozen in U.S. banks as 25 million Afghan people are still trapped in poverty.

According to a CGTN poll, nearly four in five people in Afghanistan believe the U.S. war against their country did not achieve its goal and was a "complete failure."

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a daily news conference that such a poll represents the views of the Afghan people.

Citing the CGTN poll, Zhao noted 78.2 percent of Afghan respondents said overthrowing the government of a sovereign country in the name of fighting terrorism was "completely wrong."

Globally, 80.4 percent of respondents believe that the causes of local terrorism still existed when U.S. troops left Afghanistan, he pointed out.

In response to the U.S. freezing $7 billion worth of assets belonging to the Afghan central bank, 74.1 percent of Afghan respondents said it was "purely looting," Zhao noted.

The U.S.-led war has caused an increase in terrorist organizations in Afghanistan and brought numerous barriers for the country's reconstruction even after the U.S. troops' withdrawal one year ago, Zhao said.

The U.S. should be responsible for the current situation in Afghanistan and respond to the strong voices of the Afghan people and the international community, he added.
