According to reporters, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that embassies should not use the exterior walls of buildings for “propaganda” and should comply with Chinese law.
China has asked Beijing-based foreign embassies and international organizations not to hang posters supporting Ukraine. This was written by the Japanese edition of Kyodo news, citing its sources.
PRC officials reportedly called this “political propaganda”. Therefore, many embassies in Beijing have placed signs with a picture of the Ukrainian flag and inscriptions in Chinese and English, including “#StandWithUkraine” and others. In this way, they want to show solidarity with Ukraine, which is fighting against the Russian occupation.
According to journalists, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China sent an appeal on May 10 to embassies not to use the outer walls of their buildings for “propaganda purposes”, as this could cause conflict between states. Such a move caused a negative reaction among diplomats in Europe and elsewhere. Therefore, no one heeded the call.
The statement also states that while Beijing respects diplomatic immunity under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, embassies and international organizations are “obligated to comply with Chinese laws and regulations.”
According to journalists, we can also mention the rainbow flags supporting LGBT, which were also placed by some embassies and international organizations.
It was reported that the Chinese ambassador given by Putin on 12 May will visit Ukraine to “advance peace talks”. The Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized that the country’s representative for Eurasian Affairs also plans to visit Russia, Poland, France and Germany.
Also, the media said that China’s secret police operates in Germany. According to Andrea Sasse, spokesperson for the German Foreign Ministry, negotiations with Beijing for the closure of the formations have been underway since last year, but two police stations continue to operate.
