Amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, when many countries had already evacuated their citizens and students from the war, Chinese nationals were surprised to find that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) promise to evacuate people was unreliable, and that the official number of evacuations it claimed to have made included the Chinese who fled from Ukraine on their own.
The Chinese Embassy in Ukraine said on Feb. 28 that it had organized the evacuation of the first batch of 400 Chinese students from Odessa, Ukraine. On the same day, some 200 Chinese students would leave Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
