Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said that the international community has the right to demand an investigation into the sabotage of Russia's Nord Stream and Nord Stream-2 pipelines, given the scale of the crime, RIA Novosti reported.

According to the diplomat, the incident has had a very negative impact on the global energy market and the global environment. Wang Wenbin stressed the need for an objective, impartial and professional investigation into the attacks.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said it was puzzling that Washington and the U.S. media say nothing about what happened to the gas pipelines, and such behavior makes people think that the terrorist attack case is strange and complicated.
