The Chinese leader hasn't displayed much imagination or courage. He's a political liability and lacks imagination. His support for Russian President Vladimir Putin must change. This article will examine the unwillingness of the Chinese government to give the lethal military assistance to Russia. The economic relationship between China, Russia. China's support for Russia  While the war is raging in Ukraine, China is scrambling to show its solidarity with Russia without contributing to the escalation of the crisis. The provision of lethal military assistance to Ukraine is a risk to Beijing's credibility in the Indo-Pacific region, so it is looking for alternative ways to show its support. Sajjan Gohel, international security director of the Asia-Pacific Foundation and visiting professor at the London School of Economics, believes the central question is whether the U.S. will construe non-sanctioned trade as aiding Russia's war effort. China's support of Russia is significant , but it could have a negative influence on the war. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was not an easy thing to do. China's support could aid in helping Russia stay out of sanctions. China could arm the Russian army, given that it is short of supplies. The question is, would China allow sanctions to be placed on Russian citizens? This is a question that's unclear and not certain. The Russian economy could benefit from China's assistance to Russia in the War in Ukraine. Sanctions against Russia after the invasion of Ukraine have harmed the Russian economy. Although U.S. officials have warned against the use of China's military power to intervene in the war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a strategic alliance with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping a month before the war began. However there is no indication that the Chinese government has not criticized the Russian actions, insisting that it is an "free and democratic" country. Despite China's stance on the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, it has acted in a manner which has been extremely detrimental to China's interests and image globally. While the U.S. has urged Russia to end the conflict through diplomatic efforts, China has abstained from taking part in the UN resolution condemning the Russian invasion. Many analysts believe that China could be a supporter of Russia even if there is an unconfirmed outcome. The Chinese government has a long-term interest in the continued conflict in Ukraine. In reducing the power of the Russian government, China stands to benefit from the longer the conflict continues. The longer the conflict in Ukraine lasts, the more likely Russia will surrender to China. China's financial market is an important element of this equation. China is not yet fully aware of the consequences of its decisions in this region. China's refusal to provide the lethal military aid to Russia China's decision to not offer lethal military assistance to Russia is because of a myriad of factors, among them its ongoing hostility towards the U.S., NATO and Ukraine. Although China has had military and economic ties with Ukraine prior to the war but the current Ukrainian government is a major thorn in Beijing's side. China does not want to export weapons to Russia to be used against Ukrainian civilians. The decision of China not to offer Russia deadly weapons isn't shocking, the timing of the decision is. Beijing is currently in a fierce rivalry with the United States, and it is in need of partners to maintain its energy and military sectors solid. Beijing is likely to benefit from this additional leverage. However, walking away from Putin is not likely to yield China much praise and will only leave Beijing more vulnerable to U.S. and European demands. The growing role played by China in the world's security has posed challenges to both Russia and the West. Russia's leaders are aware of the dangers of its eastern region and has a desire to enhance its position within Northeast Asia, a region where the global power balance is changing. As an economically developed Russian Far East, Russia will serve as a key outpost for Moscow, and its reluctance to offer lethal military assistance to Russia may further complicate relations between Moscow and the West. In spite of these differences, Chinese and Russian interest are closely related. They collaborate in the field of information policy. Both countries disinformation their domestic populations in a similar manner. They are increasingly shut off from communication with the rest of the world and therefore are unable to get to the truth. As such, Chinese propaganda funded by the state in Central Asia has been amplified by Beijing and has made China make promises which do not reflect the reality. China's economic ties with Russia China is standing by Russia in the growing conflict between Kiev and Ukraine. Western sanctions have had a devastating impact on the Russian economy, however China remains a staunch patron of Putin's government. Chinese President Xi Jinping met with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Beijing on February 4 , and stated that their ties are "no limitations." The War in Ukraine continues to continue to drag on and the strategic alliance between these two nations is being put to the highest test. In spite of sanctions, China's financial ties to Russia are stronger than ever before. In the meantime, as the War in Ukraine continues, China could benefit from the ongoing conflict. With Russia becoming increasingly isolated from the world market the country could reap benefits by having access to discount Russian commodities, denominated in US dollars and renminbi (RMB). This would allow China to hedge against inflation and increase its competitiveness. Solution Can Be Seen Here -owned enterprises would also be eager to purchase stakes in Russian energy and food businesses. Russia and China have a partnership in the field of economics that goes beyond investment and trade. Although both countries have their own interests in the world, they have a common enemy: Ukraine. Additionally, China is a big market for Russian oil which is a great source of energy. The relationship between China and Russia is mutually beneficial, but there are also risks. China's continued neglect of the war in Ukraine could put it into a crisis of strategic importance. In the last few decades the geopolitical scene has dramatically changed. China and other Western institutions have been invigorated by the Russian threat. As the war rages on, the costs increase and China's economic connections with Russia are at risk. As the price of fighting increases, Chinese officials are working to create divisions between Europe and America. They are also pointing out that Europe and the United States are propping up Russia's power by allowing it to sabotage the European economy, and also host more than three million Ukrainian refugees. Beijing's support for Moscow is not likely to remain the same if Russia continues to actively annex Ukraine. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine may affect military relations. Beijing's leaders may not recognize Russian forces' strength or effectiveness and may be willing to sell military technology to Beijing. This could allow Beijing to offer a wide range of concessions to Moscow in Central Asia. Xi Jinping supports Vladimir Putin Vladimir Putin, the Russian president Chinese President Xi Jinping has been criticized as a tacit supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Western hawks fear that Russia is heading toward authoritarianism, and Putin's tacit support of Xi confirms this. The strong ties Xi has with Russia provide his democratic adversaries an opportunity to unite. What does the tacit backing of Xi Jinping for Russia mean for the rest of the world? It's the first indication that the two countries have not been able to work out an agreement that is mutually beneficial. It doesn't mean that Xi should not be concerned about Russia's interests. If he wants the relationship between his country and Russia to endure, he shouldn't relent. Although a strong partnership with Russia is advantageous to both nations, it can be difficult for Xi to put his own priorities aside. Second, Xi Jinping is not surprising to be a supporter of Putin as both of them are at war with Ukraine. Putin has repeatedly called for support. Russian president has repeatedly asked China to back him and stop provoking the conflict. He also had telephone conversations with Putin. The two leaders also discussed views on the most important international issues. What about the relationship between Putin and Xi? Beijing's diplomatic stance in the face of the situation is in line with its position on foreign policy. The Chinese government has not declared the crisis to be as an invasion and has avoided condemning Russia. Xi spoke with Putin via phone and suggested that the world should drop the Cold War mentality, and acknowledge the legitimate security concerns of across all nations. In addition, he urged the formation of a security mechanism within Europe through negotiations. Both leaders spoke about the importance of strengthening their coordination of their strategies, mutual support as well as international fairness and justice , and they also discussed the necessity to build the leadership of each other. Both countries should be able to work together to safeguard their sovereignty, combat external threats and keep the stability of the international system. Both countries must continue to maintain close, high-level contacts and follow the four-point agreement for mutual support. The two nations have an agreement on the goals they have set and are continuing to do so. |
