• Several Chinese citizens denied entry on July 29, embassy says
  • Embassy demands that Russia provide ‘satisfactory answer’

China’s embassy in Moscow blasted what it called a “brutal” handling by Russian authorities of a denial of entry to the country by several Chinese citizens.

“Russia’s brutal and excessive law-enforcement activities in this incident have seriously violated the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese citizens,” the embassy said in a post Friday on WeChat, the popular Chinese social-media outlet.

        A country without an economy to backup its war goals will always be weak. I couldn’t dream to know what China hopes to achieve by playing both sides. I’m guessing they have multiple goals. Goals such as the feasibility of a Taiwan invasion or perhaps to pick at the corpse of a rotting Russia.

          It’s all possible, but I feel like Russia’s actions and results aren’t what they liked. They themselves has a monicker ‘paper tiger’, and their ally being disabled by their own corruption sets a ground to question if China even a power to respect on the world stage. A second-hand humiliation, and I don’t think it can be outweighted by spoils they can get from Russia now. China seems to care about these things.

    Denying Chinese citizens entry into Russia is “brutal” and “excessive” but bombing schools and hospitals is OK. Just China things.
