Chinese embassy slams Moscow over Russian border incident
Chinese embassy slams Moscow over Russian border incident
Such criticism is unusual, as Beijing is one of Russia’s top allies and has not condemned the all-out invasion of Ukraine.

These kind of titles OBLITERATE my desire to read the article.
Why? I read the original article published by Chinese embassy, the translation is accurate, even the use of "slam" seems justified given the wording of the original article.
Oh yeah? Did the embassy SLAM Moscow? Like proper SMASH them through a table?
I instantly disregard news that uses sensationalist language without proper reason.
I automatically downvote any posts that use it as well. That shit needs to stop
If you waited for that to happen we'd all be dead
I always substitute slam and blast with “did nothing about it. only signaled virtues”
Just trying to understand the downvotes here? What's the criticism regarding this article?
Maybe because it's using "slams" in the title.
that's where my downvote comes from, at least
Tankies.
I would guess it’s tankies or Russian apologists.
Maybe because it was released yesterday and people are angry it not fresh news. :)
I downvote and don’t read any article that uses hypewords like “slam”. It’s like the arrows people put on their youtube thumbnails. Low effort journalism, but I guess it works.
Lemmyers SLAM clickbait headlines with this one simple trick!
I mean it's Politico - that alone makes me want to downvote.
I see no downvotes 🤔. It’s at +61/-0 right now so far as I can see..
For some reason downvotes from Lemmy don’t transfer over to kbin, but I don’t know how you see +61, for me it’s +35/-2
It's a preemptive post. Karma whoring in lemmy. Sheesh
Body slam!
Article:
The Chinese embassy in Moscow on Friday criticized “brutal and excessive law enforcement by Russia” after five Chinese citizens were denied entry into the country.
In a post on Chinese social media platform WeChat, the embassy said the incident had “seriously damaged the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens.”
On attempting to enter Russia on July 29, the group of Chinese citizens was “repeatedly” questioned for “up to 4 hours,” according to the statement. They had their tourist visas canceled and were refused entry, it said.
The incident is “inconsistent with the overall situation of friendly Sino-Russian relations and the trend of increasingly close friendly exchanges of personnel between the two countries,” added the embassy. “The Russian side is required to immediately find out the cause of the incident, take active measures to eliminate the bad influence, and ensure that similar incidents will not recur in the future.”
Beijing committed to a “no-limits partnership” with Moscow just two days before Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. It is among the Kremlin’s top remaining allies, and has not condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin for the invasion.
Representatives of the Chinese government this weekend are joining more than 40 countries in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for Saudi-hosted — and Kremlin-free — Ukraine peace talks.
TLDR: big if true lol
It might be a very close relationship, but they still have to demonstrate to each other that you can't mess with them. Don't mess with my people is a cornerstone of diplomacy
