Statehood - Self-determination

Apparently, secession through referendum could still be a good thing. An FM spokesman said China welcomes the end of the South Sudan referendum. A Chinese representative to the UN also said China had provided financial aid to the referendum and said that, whatever the result, it should safeguard the peace and stability of Sudan and the region.

Later, after the results of the referendum were announced, the FM spokesman said that "China respects the choice of the Sudanese people" and that "China expects full implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) as well as long-lasting peace and stability in Sudan."
