US Intelligence Leak Reveals Failed Wagner Group Arms Request from China.
The Chinese government reportedly rejected a request from the Russian private military company Wagner Group for permission to operate in China, according to a US intelligence leak. The request was made in 2018, and the Chinese government's refusal is seen as a sign of its reluctance to be seen as supporting foreign military operations. The Wagner Group has been linked to Russian military operations in Syria and Ukraine.
