RUSSIA/CHINA - Similarities between the protest movements in Hong Kong and Moscow have not gone unnoticed by the authoritarian rulers of China and Russia. Russia’s state-run Tass news service on Wednesday quoted the new Chinese ambassador calling for the two countries to “cultivate our relations at a higher level” and “open a new page” in their friendship. Zhang issued a warning from Moscow on Wednesday that Hong Kong is not “American” or “English” but Chinese, so the US and UK should not “stick their noses in our affairs.”
