Several Chinese citizens denied entry on July 29, embassy says
Embassy demands that Russia provide ‘satisfactory answer’

China’s embassy in Moscow blasted what it called a “brutal” handling by Russian authorities of a denial of entry to the country by several Chinese citizens.

“Russia’s brutal and excessive law-enforcement activities in this incident have seriously violated the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese citizens,” the embassy said in a post Friday on WeChat, the popular Chinese social-media outlet.

That's a very good point. Second-hand embarrassment hadn't crossed my mind. Perhaps they might be trying to decrease that risk by pretending to be arbiters. Though indeed that can only be propaganda for their own citizens and closest allies because nobody else is buying that bs. But nothing new there.
