China said on Monday it respected the “sovereign state status” of all former Soviet republics
Beijing hastened to “collect” its statements Chinese Ambassador to Paris, who disputed the sovereignty of former Soviet republics, including Ukraine.
According to AFP, China said on Monday it respected the “sovereign state status” of all former Soviet republics, after a Chinese official in France sparked outrage in Europe by questioning the sovereignty of those nations.
“China respects the sovereign state status of the republics that participated after the dissolution of the Soviet Union,” a foreign ministry spokeswoman told reporters. Mao Ning.
Beijing’s ambassador to France, Lou Saye, caused an uproar after claiming that the countries that belonged to the Soviet Union “have no real status under international law because there was no international agreement to finalize their status as independent countries”.
The ambassador’s comments appeared to refer not only to Ukraine, which Russia invaded in February 2022, but also to all former Soviet republics that became independent after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, including the three members of the European Union.
“China respects sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries and supports the purposes and principles of the UN Charter,” Mao insisted on Monday.
