China believes that the result of the Russian Duma election is a reflection of the will of the Russian people, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Friday.
China respects the choice of the Russian people, and it supports Russia in proceeding along the path in keeping with its own national conditions, Spokesman Hong Lei said at a daily press briefing,
About 700 international observers followed the election and they generally affirmed the election result, Hong said.
The Russian Parliamentary election was held on Sunday, and the United Russia party won by a landslide.
However, the election results have been questioned by some countries. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggested Russia's elections were "neither free nor fair".
