China hedging it’s bet

I saw this story yesterday.
Speculation from the RWEC:
Did China decide it doesn’t want any photo ops right now? If so, one would think they would have communicated that to Lavrov before he left.
It seems more likely that Putin abruptly decided he needed Lavrov back in Moscow. And it must have been important business to justify canceling a trip to Russia’s one last meaningful ally mid-flight.
Or, a third possibility: There’s a power struggle suddenly unfolding in the capital and Lavrov’s presence was urgently needed.
Coincidentally, rumors are swirling that a top military official has been detained by the FSB:
