One month ago, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that there was no limit to Beijing's renewed strong ties with Russia. Xi Jinping had a face-to-face meeting with Putin in Beijing. At the end of that meeting, they jointly made a memorandum of understanding. The two then attended the Winter Olympic Games together. Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine a few days after the end of the Olympic Games.
The Chinese government has not condemned the attack, nor has it taken a direct stand. China has always said it does not interfere in the internal affairs of others. This is a major issue in their foreign policy. Many political analysts, however, have been shocked by the lack of direct support. The question is whether China is changing its foreign policy. An analysis of China's possible role in thwarting the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been published by the BBC.
Earlier this week, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi hinted that they were ready to mediate a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, the BBC reported. At the time, Chinese state media reported that Wang had reaffirmed his unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty. He assured the Ukrainian Foreign Minister that China was ready to make every effort to end the war through diplomacy.
The Chinese government has recently expressed regret over the military action. They are concerned that civilians will be harmed as a result. In addition, China has done a significant work. It is one of 34 countries that did not take part in the vote to pass a resolution condemning the Russian campaign. Many international political analysts have been shocked by China's role. Because, they thought, China would vote for Russia.
Is China then changing its policy?
China's recent role suggests that the country seeks to strike a balance between recognizing Russia's legitimate security concerns and at the same time respecting Ukraine's sovereignty.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a 5,000-word document announcing the deepening of relations between Beijing and Moscow. Based on an analysis of the documents, the BBC reports that the question of opposition to NATO expansion has brought China and Russia together. However, the MoU sets out a number of areas of common interest to both parties. It is a joint venture between China and Russia that seeks to work more closely together to safeguard mutual interests.
Fundamental differences identities
The question of why China has so quickly expressed support for Russia and Vladimir Putin, or does not want to condemn them, has come to the fore in Taiwan. Beijing sees the autonomous island region as a rug province. Xi Jinping sees it as part of China. If he wants to use military force to occupy the region, the United States and its allies may react similarly or more. China may be excluded from condemnation, sanctions or cultural events.
Although Taiwan and Ukraine are not one. Excluding everything, at least the two places are different in terms of legitimacy. Even then, China is thought to be preparing its own future by acknowledging Russia's "legitimate security concerns" and respecting Ukraine's core principles of sovereignty. Chinese leader Xi Jinping may want to justify future attacks on Taiwan. At the same time, he expects support from Russia.
Xi Jinping and Putin also have a personal relationship. So far they have met about 40 times in private. Putin also attended the Winter Olympics in Beijing last month. Putin is the most influential world leader to visit China since the Corona epidemic.
The BBC reports that Putin and Chin Ping are dictators. It is said that these two leaders have expressed their desire to deepen the relationship between them and to create proper respect among their country and people.Xi Jinping dreams of a future where China, a huge economy, will be much more self-sufficient.
However, the newly formed "borderless" relationship with Russia does not mean that the United States, its allies and allies have established alliances against established world order. After all, in recent years, China has sought to play a greater role in maintaining world order.
In this case, politics is also a consideration. This is not the politics of elections, but the politics of aligning with warring nations. The Chinese people have officially imposed censorship on what they see and how much they can read. But in this country, the horrors of war are being propagated in detail through social media. The BBC reports that this could be an important factor in Beijing's reckoning with Russia's position on the issue.
The report goes on to say that Xi Jinping and other senior leaders in the area may have understood that there should be boundaries in the relationship and that there was a need to return. Or try to play the role of mediator with Moscow going forward. This is the role that Beijing has told Ukraine to play. However, no indication of such a role has been seen yet.
