China has expressed its support for Russia in the wake of the weekend’s aborted Wagner mutiny, as state media projected a narrative of stability and minimal impact on Beijing’s ally.
China’s foreign ministry described the incident as “Russia’s internal affairs” in a brief statement on Sunday after Wagner Group head Yevgeny Prigozhin led his soldiers to within 200 kilometres (124 miles) of Moscow before suddenly agreeing to withdraw as part of a deal brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
Victor Gao is Vice President at the Center for China and Globalization.
He joins us from Beijing to discuss the latest news.
