China reacts to the rebellion in Russia

On Sunday, June 25, official Beijing commented on the military mutiny of PMC leader Vagner Prigozhin. The statement was made by a representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

China managed to comment a day after the completion of the "raid on Moscow."

Nothing unexpected - China reiterated its full support for fascist Russia, and with the coup, emphasized the importance of national stability.

"This is Russia's internal affair. As a friendly neighbor of Russia and a comprehensive strategic partner in coordinating actions in the new era, China supports Russia in maintaining national stability and achieving development and prosperity," said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman.

Earlier, China assured the United States that it would not provide weapons to Russia for use in the war against Ukraine. This was stated by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken at a press conference in Beijing on June 19.

"We and other countries have received assurances from China that it is not and will not provide lethal support to Russia. We appreciate that," the head of the State Department said.

He called China's policy "important" and emphasized that so far the United States has seen "no evidence that would contradict" Beijing's assurances.
