PRESSURE FROM CHINA

In July it was reported that Ukraine has yielded to pressure from China.   Ukraine was one of 44 countries to sign up to the statement proposed by Canada at the Human Rights Council urging China to give independent observers immediate access to its Xinjiang region in order to investigate the way in which the Muslim Uighurs have been treated.   Ukraine has now withdrawn its signature to the statement and as a result China will invest in infrastructure projects in Ukraine and continue to receive Chinese Covid vaccination supplies.   China describes the Ukrainian move as a commercial decision made without pressure from China.
