Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, China's position has been highly ambiguous. The fact is that the Chinese really do not want the defeat of Russia.
At the same time, Beijing fears that direct military assistance will be seen as a reason for the imposition of serious economic sanctions by the United States and other Western countries. Military expert Yuri Fedorov said this to Channel 24 .
China will try to help
According to the military expert, China may be looking for certain workarounds to help the Russian aggressor. We are talking about Belarus, Iran and other countries. This is quite possible.
“I’m not sure that the Chinese want Russia to win, but they definitely don’t want defeat. It’s a fact, nothing can be done about it. China’s position is far from being the most favorable in this war. I don’t want to upset, but you need to look at things as they are “, – summed up Fedorov.
What is missing in China's “peace initiatives”
- China unveiled its “peace plan” after the end of the war between Russia and Ukraine. However, this is only a position, not real steps.
- As political scientist Taras Semenyuk notes, China wants to become an “icon” of the authoritarian world as opposed to US leadership in the democratic part of the planet.
- Semenyuk believes that the “peace plan” clearly demonstrates how China sees the world around it. If Beijing really wanted to end the war, they would have named clear steps to be taken to end the war.
- “This policy is the policy of distorted mirrors. It seems to me that China can do more than just give some general concepts of what is happening around the world,” the political scientist said.
- Also in this position there is no clear definition of who is the aggressor and who is the victim.
