China slams Bloomberg fake news about “China asked Russia not to invade Ukraine during Beijing 2022”

TASS: According to a media report, the Chinese side raised its hope that Russia would not “invade” Ukraine during the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. The Russian Foreign Ministry and the Chinese embassy in Russia both denied the report, calling it untrue. This is not the first time that the Western media has reported fake news about Russia and China. What is your comment? Do these reports indicate certain Western countries’ deliberate attacks on the smooth and progressing Russia-China relations?  Zhao Lijian: Are you referring to the report by Bloomberg? (The journalist nodded.)  The report was purely made out of thin air. It seeks not only to smear and drive a wedge in China-Russia relations, but also to deliberately disrupt and undermine the Beijing Winter Olympics. Such a despicable trick cannot fool the international community.
