This policy brief sets out to understand the ways in which China’s political and intellectual elites see the war in Ukraine. So, how has Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 – and the conduct of the war since then – changed China’s support for Russia and its wider outlook on the world? What assumptions may be shaping official statements of neutrality and abstentions in the United Nations? Xi was also the first to shake hands with the Russian president following the International Criminal Court’s issue of an arrest warrant accusing him of war crimes.Ĭhina and Russia had already issued a joint declaration in 2022, which pledged “no limits” to their friendship. Putin was the first foreign leader Xi met after the latter had secured his precedent-breaking third term in power. “Change is coming that hasn’t happened in 100 years and we are driving this change together.” These were the words of Xi Jinping, China’s leader and the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, when bidding farewell to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in Moscow in March 2023. Perhaps most radically, the war may accelerate Chinese efforts to become less economically intertwined with the West.

But scholars are scouring the American and European responses to the war for clues to how the West might respond to a potential escalation over Taiwan.

On Taiwan, Western support for Ukraine has neither deterred nor encouraged an invasion.

Most are critical of Russia’s tactics but want to stand by Moscow to prevent the US winning.

Intellectuals believe America is using the war to encircle China – but that Washington has failed to rally many others internationally behind its cause.Interviews with Chinese thinkers show they largely do not regard the war as a major break with the past, but as another manifestation of their country’s longstanding rivalry with the US.
