Recently, China declared support for Ukraine\u2019s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second, <\/strong>China was in support of the Minsk agreements. Until the invasion, they had called for de-escalation through dialogue and negotiation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Third,<\/strong> China is Ukraine\u2019s biggest trade partner and Kyiv had signed up to Xi\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fourth, <\/strong>China has also long been seeking technologies like advanced aircraft engines that Ukraine controls. Russia\u2019s invasion has shown that being a BRI member only gets you Chinese loans and infrastructure, and you can\u2019t rely on China for survival.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fifth,<\/strong> in the recently concluded Russia-China joint statement, there was no reference to Ukraine. There was only a small reference to the complaint against NATO\u2019s expansion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sixth,<\/strong> China prefers a world where the US, UK, and the EU are divided and wants to attract developing countries to itself and its vision of a new global order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally,<\/strong> to the extent that Western sanctions affect Russia\u2019s global trade, Chinese financial institutions and firms will be affected. China cannot afford to lose access to European technology ecosystems and markets too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> This post is based on the article \u201c<strong>Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine is marked by a big Chinese failure\u201d<\/strong> published in <strong>Live Mint<\/strong> on 25<sup>th<\/sup> <strong>Feb<\/strong> 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News: Russia invades Ukraine.
