Beijing makes clear it will not tolerate any foreign power meddling in Belarusian internal matters. This stance came through a report on the discussion between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, as carried by Xinhua News Agency. The message is plain: China expects respect for Belarus’s sovereignty and a respect for the path Belarus chooses to pursue its development without outside interference. The statement reinforces a long-standing principle in Beijing’s foreign policy, one that has become a defining feature of China’s approach to partnerships in Europe and beyond. In this context, China positions itself as a steady partner that supports Belarus while resisting external pressure that could destabilize the bilateral relationship or regional balance.
