China is playing its game with Russia. For Beijing, Moscow is not an ally, but a tool for resolving its own interests.
This Channel 24 was told by political scientist Oleg Lesnoy. By the way, on February 21, Xi Jinping will make a speech on the anniversary of Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine, and in his speech there will be direct instructions to Putin.
China is its own ally
Lesnoy noted that China has never had allies because it is its own ally. All other resources for him. China is now not happy that Russia quickly failed to fulfill what it promised, that is, to win its war against Ukraine.
Then China would have a free hand, because then they saw the right of the strong and the absence of international law. This would give a free hand on Taiwan and other issues for China. China is now trying, like some countries, to warm its hands on our misfortune, the political scientist noted.
He added that Ukraine is now at the top of the world agenda. China wants dividends. In particular, in relations with the United States. In particular, Beijing was supposed to sit down at the negotiating table with Washington, but then balloons appeared.

China does not blame Russia, but quietly blames the West
According to the political scientist, China sees itself as a peacemaker. Russia is not an ally for Beijing, but a tool for resolving its issues. In particular, China does not blame Russia for the war. However, he quietly hints that the West does not allow Ukraine to sit down at the negotiating table with Russia.
“The Chinese are playing their game, like every peacemaker. Now we just have a hit parade of peacemakers. Erdogan wanted to, but, unfortunately, he had such a tragedy that you would not wish for any country. Both Berlusconi and Kisinger, and now the Chinese leader has already come up with a peace initiative,” Lesnoy stressed.
As he noted, our peace plan will be implemented anyway. Despite all the attempts of China, Turkey and someone else, the world will accept the Ukrainian peace plan and be implemented.
