Chinese diplomat appreciated the New York Times article about the state of emergency at Nord Stream

Belfast, UK, 9 March 2023, 06:12 — REGNUM Chinese Consul General in Belfast (UK) Zhang Meifang believes that the article of the American newspaper The New York Times about the explosions on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines has contributed some “chaos” in the situation with the investigation of sabotage. She wrote about this in her microblog.

The said publication states that according to “new intelligence” some “pro-Ukrainian group” may be involved in undermining the Nord Streams. At the same time, according to the diplomat, this article did not influence public opinion.

“This failed to convince the public, as someone asked the question:“ The group is called the administration (of the President of the United States Joe) Biden?the consul noted.

As reported IA REGNUM, earlier readers of the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit criticized the version of the involvement of a certain “pro-Ukrainian group” in the emergency at Nord Stream. Many of them admitted that this “intelligence leak” could have been aimed at distracting the public from the investigation of an American journalist Seymour Hershwho cited evidence of US involvement in terrorist attacks on gas pipelines.
