China’s ambassador to Russia has called on Chinese businesspeople in Moscow to expand their enterprises by leveraging the Ukraine crisis as severe international sanctions have crippled Russia’s economy in the wake of the invasion.
Ambassador Zhang Hanhui urged Chinese businessmen in Moscow to make good use of the current Russia–Ukraine war as he met with representatives earlier this week. According to a March 21 social media post by the Russian Confucius Culture Promotion Association, the ambassador told business heads to waste no time and “fill the void” in the Russian economy.
