The Chinese government officially congratulated Russia on Monday for the outcome of its recent parliamentary elections, characterizing the process as successful and reflective of the popular will. The victory of the ruling party, United Russia, secured a supermajority in the Duma, holding 355 of the 450 available seats. This result follows a contest that international observers noted took place in the absence of significant political opposition.
Simultaneously, the Chinese government has intensified internal disciplinary actions, announcing the expulsion of two high-ranking military officials, Generals Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, from the Communist Party. These expulsions are part of an ongoing anti-corruption campaign within the Chinese armed forces, centered on allegations that the officials misused their positions for personal gain.
