«Why should we idolize China?» said Vladimir Solovyov, a prominent Kremlin propagandist, following a summit between Washington and Beijing.
China has become the latest target of derisive attacks in a Russian state media broadcast following a meeting between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden.
«We are ahead of China in terms of military technology,» Vladimir Solovyov, a prominent Kremlin propagandist and staunch ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said during a recent broadcast.
«Why should we idolize China? What houses in China have heating? And how many have a pension?» Solovyov said, during a discussion with a state media guest, in a brief clip published on social media.
The remarks from Solovyov, one of the best-known Kremlin mouthpieces, are a move away from his frequent and virulent criticism of Western countries providing support for Ukraine in its war effort against Moscow.
