China has condemned the killings of Afghan civilians by Australian soldiers, with Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying saying -- the Australian government - should feel "ashamed" by the murders. A recent major report found - that Australian Special Forces were allegedly involved - in the murders of 39 Afghan civilians. In some cases, prisoners were killed as a way of "blooding," or initiating junior soldiers, before inventing cover stories and planting weapons on corpses.
