China says the Ethiopian government is capable of managing the conflict in Tigray, becoming one of few actors to oppose what Beijing says is foreign interference in the Horn country.
Chinese State Counsellor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said his country opposes international pressure on Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed without the same being applied on rebel groups to follow the law.
