China criticized the US for not interfering with the US, which called for the release of Russian opposition activist Alexey Navalni.

According to the Russian state-run TAs news agency on the 25th (local time), a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zhaorizen held a regular briefing on the day and said, “China is in solidarity with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which criticizes US intervention in internal affairs.” I firmly oppose the interference with Korea.” The TAs news agency evaluated China’s announcement of its position as a sign of support and solidarity for Russia.

China appears to have joined the conflict between the US and Russia. China has focused on expanding cooperation with Russia as one of its countermeasures against the United States. China has also strongly opposed human rights issues in Hong Kong, Uighur, and Tibet, saying it is interference in internal affairs whenever there is criticism from Western countries such as the United States.

The US and Russia are in strong clashes over protests across Russia calling for Navalni’s release. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the US embassy in Moscow to stop interfering in internal affairs, saying it encouraged the protests, including posting a post on the Social Network Service (SNS) in support of Navalni’s release. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mariya Zaharova said in an interview with his own TV broadcast’Channel 1’on the 25th that he protested against the US Ambassador to Moscow, John Sullivan, on the 25th. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan insisted “Navalni should be released immediately,” and State Department spokesman Ned Price also said, “I urge Russian authorities to release all those arrested (in protests) for universal human rights.” It has been revealed.
