CHINA PERSPECTIVE
40 YEARS SINCE CHERNOBYL AMID WAR: ZELENSKY ACCUSES RUSSIA OF NUCLEAR TERRORISM
DOMINANT ANGLE
16 dead in strikes during commemorations: nuclear risks underscored
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
The South China Morning Post adopted an essentially factual angle on the anniversary's dual dimensions: commemoration and military strikes. It reported that strikes killed at least 16 people across Ukraine during April 26 ceremonies, including nine deaths in Dnipro from Russian drone and missile strikes. One person was killed in Sebastopol during Ukrainian drone counter-attacks. SCMP recalled Zelensky's statement: 'Russia is once again bringing the world to the brink of a human-caused catastrophe.' The Chinese angle avoided judgment on Russian responsibility, treating the event as a war fact.
