Ex-coordinator of the US State Department for Sancts Daniel Fried said that China does not plan to support Russia in the war in Ukraine.
According to him, the Chinese “were shocked” by the way Russia showed military plan.
“The Chinese are shocked by the strategic miscalculations of the Russian Federation, from its clumsiness in the decision that Putin can neither control nor stop. Russia has always been a younger partner of China, at least the last few years. Now it is quite obvious that Russia is that Russia – Aggressive and incompetent younger partner. I doubt that the Chinese will take risks for Putin, ”Fried explained his thought.
According to the expert, China also does not want to strengthen its confrontation with the United States. Beijing saw that the West was not as weak as it seemed to him.
“This should alert any serious strategist in the Kremlin. China is not going to support Russia, more and more plunging into the jigs of Putin’s adventures. I think that the Chinese will not risk violating American sanctions, even restriction of oil price. Putin’s position is not strong. Putin. Putin. Putin allowed serious miscalculations, and his current position is much weaker than last year, ”Fried summed up.
