China's ties to Russia remain "rock solid," according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, despite international criticism of its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
"As each other's biggest neighbor and comprehensive strategic partner of coordination in the new era, China and Russia always follow the principles of non-alliance non-confrontation and non-targeting any third party," said ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian.
