China pleased with stability in Bangladesh after quota reform movement

Bangladesh faced significant unrest last week due to the quota reform movement. In response, international organizations including the United Nations, European Union, and Amnesty International have raised concerns about the excessive force used by security forces to quell the protests.

However, China has consistently avoided commenting on the issue. Instead, as a close neighbor and development partner, China has expressed satisfaction that the situation surrounding the quota reform movement in Bangladesh is gradually stabilizing.

In a regular briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian stated that China, as a close friend and neighbor of Bangladesh, is encouraged to see the situation returning to normal.

"China and Bangladesh are comprehensive strategic cooperative partners. China stands ready to work with Bangladesh to deliver on the important common understandings reached by the leaders of the two countries during Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to China, deepen the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries, and deliver more benefits to the two peoples," said Lin Jian.
