Ja, ungefär. De förnekar så klart. Och hoppas säkert att Ukraina inte har fler kineser på lager. Skulle det visas ett större antal kinesiska soldater, på rysk sida, så blir förstås läget mera intrikat. Men, det återstår att se.
Hittills har Ukraina inte presenterat några bevis för att de skulle ha "kineser på lager". Lin Jiang adresserade frågan om eventuella kinesiska frivilliga på gårdagens dagliga presskonferens:
the Chinese government always asks Chinese nationals to stay away from areas of armed conflict, avoid any form of involvement in armed conflict, and in particular avoid participation in any party’s military operations.
Följande är från dagens presskonferens:
AFP: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine knows the personal details of 155 Chinese nationals who are fighting for Russia in its invasion of Ukraine. China yesterday denied that large numbers of citizens have been recruited by the Russian army. Does China therefore think that President Zelenskyy is somehow lying or mistaken?
Lin Jian: Let me reaffirm that China did not start the Ukraine crisis, nor is China a party to it. We firmly support and actively strive for peaceful settlement of the crisis. The Chinese government always asks Chinese nationals to stay away from areas of armed conflict, avoid any form of involvement in armed conflict, and in particular avoid participation in any party’s military operations. We call on the relevant party to be right and sober about China’s role rather than make irresponsible remarks.
De enda som lyfter frågan är AFP och det enda "bevis" som framhålls är kokainisten Zelenskys ord. Lin Jiang upprepade gårdagens uttalande, varpå AFP insisterade på att åter lyfta Zelenskys påståenden.
AFP: I’d like to return to President Zelenskyy’s comments from yesterday and he was very specific when he was talking about the number, the Chinese nationals allegedly fighting for Russia, 155 Chinese nationals. I’m wondering if that number had been raised privately with Chinese diplomats? Is China in the process of verifying the actual number of its citizens that are allegedly fighting as mercenaries for Russia in its invasion of Ukraine? And President Zelenskyy also said that the actions of these citizens in Russia show that Moscow is attempting to drag China into the Ukraine war. What’s China’s response to that?
Lin Jian: Regarding your question, I have nothing to offer. Let me stress that, on the Ukraine issue, China holds an objective and just position and always calls for deescalation and ceasefire while promoting peace talks, as the world can see. The relevant party needs to be right and sober about China’s role and refrain from making irresponsible remarks.
Ingen vidare kommentar då än, översatt från diplomatspråk, att narkomanen i Kiev borde lägga in sig själv på rehab och nyktra till.
Intresseklubben noterar att Kina inte utesluter att det kan finnas kinesiska medborgare som i likhet med brasilianer, chilenare, fransoser, britter, amerikaner och svenskar krigar mot Ryssland på territoriet som kallas Ukraina.
