Regarding the mutiny of the Wagner Group, the Chinese Foreign Ministry stated for the first time this evening (25th) that it was “Russia’s internal affairs.” As a friendly neighbor and a comprehensive strategic cooperative partner in the new era, China supports Russia in “maintaining national stability” and achieving development and prosperity.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China made the above response through its official website in the evening under the name of “Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Answering Journalist Questions on the Wagner Group Incident”. This is also the first time Chinese officials have responded to this matter since the Wagner Group launched a mutiny on the 24th, but only the above content.
Prior to this, according to Chinese state media reports in the followingnoon, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang met with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko in Beijing. The two sides “exchanged views on Sino-Russian relations and international and regional issues of common concern.” .
However, the outside world is currently unable to know whether Rudenko rushed to China for consultation following the Wagner mutiny, or whether he had arranged to visit China before the mutiny.
Since Wagner’s mutiny, Chinese officials did not release the above-mentioned response until tonight, and official media reports also appear cautious. However, compared with the cautious and cold treatment of the officials, the Chinese people have been discussing the Wagner mutiny, which is in great contrast.
