China responded to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s claim that at least 155 Chinese nationals are fighting alongside Russian troops, with a Foreign Ministry spokesman advising against “irresponsible remarks” and reiterating China’s desire for a peaceful resolution.

    Nah, China needs to provide some real point other than “You bring us great dishonor”, Ukraine has far more credibillity than China ever will. I still have to do that mental operation where I assume the reverse of anything they say is the truth or at least the starting basis for thinking about anything they’re involved with

    Even if its true these were mercenaries totally unconnected to the government, accusations like these are totally fair game by reason of association. China shouldn’t be hitching its wagon to Russia particularly for these war crimes. They’re in bed with the stink, they gonna smell.

    They bring great shame to and by themselves

      Usually the burden of proof is on accuser’s side regardless of how you feel about the accused. Also Ukraine, specially at the beginning, made many not-that-true claims. It’s war, they will lie if that suits them. And you’re right, Chine is also often denying the obvious.
