- 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.
China doesn’t want it to be weak, tho.
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.
