FACT CHECK: Chinese Intrigue Behind Ukraine’s Seizure of Aviation Firm Motor Sich

On November 7, Kyiv announced it had taken control of five strategically important companies, citing powers granted to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy under martial law following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Reuters called the move “the government's most dramatic intervention of the war into big business, touching companies linked to tycoons whose political power Zelenskyy's team has long sought to curb.” The move has sparked more controversy by bringing China into the fray. The Chinese company Beijing Skyrizon Aviation is engaged in a legal battle over control of Motor Sich, one of the nationalized firms. Motor Sich happens to be among the world’s largest makers of engines for missiles, helicopters and jets. In a statement in Russian media, Beijing Skyrizon Aviation reacted harshly: “We strongly oppose the shameless behavior of the state of Ukraine regarding the politicization of normal business processes, the forcible nationalization of the Motor Sich company and the unjustified plundering of the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese investors.” Russian-state broadcaster RT framed the takeover as: "Chinese investors decry Kiev’s ‘plunder’.” Both statements are misleading. There's a lot more to the circumstances of Motor Sich and China’s involvement with the company. https://www.polygraph.info/a/fact-che... » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video:    / voanews   Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
