Gao chastised Putin for relying on fabricated history in his bid to restore Russia’s alleged glory. He faulted the Putin regime for “considering the former Soviet Union as its exclusive sphere of influence” and “violating the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of other former Soviet states,” which resulted in “the greatest threat to peace, security, and stability in Eurasia.”"
Wow. I mean, just, wow.
A Chinese official said this?
A Chinese official gave a lecture about using "fabricated history" to return a country to "imagined glory," and claiming a now defunct union of "Tributary States" as its exclusive sphere of influence, resulting in a security threat to Eurasia when they violate the territorial integrity and sovereignty of neighboring states?

Hmm, I don't think Gao sees it that way. CCP cadres are not really known for understanding the irony of their ways.
