Balanced News: Chinese opera singer performs Russian patriotic song in bombed-out Mariupol theater

China has faced criticism from Ukraine after a Chinese opera singer performed a Soviet-era patriotic song in a bombed-out theater in Mariupol, a city that fell to Russian troops. The performance of the song “Katyusha” in the ruins of the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theatre, which was destroyed during fighting earlier this year, has been described as “complete moral degradation” by Ukraine’s Ministry of Legal Affairs. The incident has led to threats of a ban on Chinese tourists entering Ukraine. China has been accused of showing support for Russia in various ways throughout the conflict.
