By coincidence you mean China's harsh words on Turkey vs. the Kazakhstan event? I don't think so to the point I'd say impossible if you understand how Chinese diplomatic wording works.I am sure this is just a coincidence..
First of all, if you read the full article you would see:
- It is by People's daily.
- The article is written in the perspective of CPC, not a common news report.
- The article only quoted the "bad" words from Wang Yi, although he also said something nicer reported elsewhere. So you know the focus of China.
- The Turkish FM did NOT respond to Wang's "demand".
3 means that China's only focus of this meeting are these "bad" things.
The 4th is unusual. It means Turkey did not expect Wang to put these "demands" in the meeting. The Turkish FM without Erdogan's prior authorization can not make any defence/denial or promise.
Turkey did not do anything about Xinjiang recently, why would China suddenly put these "harsh" demands out of nowhere?
