Beijing/Hong Kong | China has described Yevgeny Prigozhin’s attempted insurrection as Russia’s “internal affair” as it tried to play down any potential impact on their close ties during a visit by Moscow’s deputy foreign minister Andrei Rudenko to Beijing.
State media showed Chinese foreign minister Qin Gang smiling and walking with Mr Rudenko on Sunday, as China tried to gauge the impact of the rebellion by Mr Prigozhin and his Wagner paramilitaries on the political stability of one of its most important allies.
