Chinese Embassy Condemns Russia's Treatment of Citizens at Border

"Insights from a China-Russia Expert: Xi's Subtle Message to Putin on the Prigozhin Revolt"

As the recent Prigozhin revolt in Russia unfolded, China's response and perception of the events remain unclear. While there has been little official comment from Beijing, signs of worry have emerged, including a deleted tweet from political commentator Hu Xijin and concerns expressed by Chinese scholars in China Daily. These subtle messages may be a way for Beijing to suggest to Moscow the need for stability and to remind the world that China and Russia have different political systems. Despite the embarrassment caused by the revolt, the Chinese government likely still sees Putin as the best chance for stability in Russia and a core foundation of the bilateral relationship.

The Chinese will also take pride in their own system while refraining from boasting about it.

Xi's visit was surrounded by public spectacle, with nonstop media coverage proclaiming the increasingly intertwined economic relations between Russia and China. The grandiose optics delivered a clear message: a new, strong, united front against the West.
