How Does China See Indian-Ally Sheikh Hasina's Ouster in Bangladesh? | Taiwan Talks EP441

As Bangladesh’s provisional leader Muhammad Yunus begins to steer the country out of chaos, what does Beijing make of the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, who ruled the country for 15 years? China praised Hasina for emphasizing “political stability” and “economic development”, while resisting U.S. allegations of human rights abuses under her leadership. Does the case of Bangladesh sound an alarm for autocrats in China and Russia, whose state medias have described her toppling in relation to terms like “color revolution” or even “Arab Spring,” a wave of anti-government, pro-democracy uprisings that overthrew governments across the Middle East and North Africa beginning in 2010?
