China plays its role, an international affairs expert said what Beijing’s policy is

China plays a serious role in global processes. Due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia is weakened, the sanctions policy of the West has a certain influence on this.

Due to the sanctions of Western countries, China is increasing its export capabilities. This 24 Channel was noted by international affairs expert Bogdan Ferens.

“Therefore, there is no need to reassure yourself that, supposedly, Beijing would like the Russian-Ukrainian war to end quickly, also with a just peace. China is playing its role. During the first year of a full-scale invasion, it was very carefully involved in certain processes, even in the context of cooperation with Russia,” he said.

According to an international relations expert, near Russia China is trying to look like a pragmatic opponent who can also or globally increase the danger through more open cooperation with Russia in the military sphere, realizing its militaristic ambitions regarding Taiwan.

“Or vice versa. That is, use this tool as an element of a certain blackmail, that, supposedly, if the situation escalates with the United States, first of all, with Western countries, then “we can also act in such a daring way,” Ference suggested.
