China is yet to condemn Putin’s war, and Russia has reportedly
asked Beijing for economic and military support. Is Xi proving to
Putin’s most important ally? And what does Russia’s faltering
invasion mean for China’s potential takeover of Taiwan? Bonnie
Glaser, director of the Asia Programme at the German Marshall Fund,
joins Arthur Snell to explain China’s stance on Russia’s invasion,
and what war in Europe means for Asian security. We're
putting out irregular war bulletins covering different aspects of
the Ukraine crisis. Help our work, and shape the next full series

https://ukrainewar.carrd.co/ “Putin and Xi have a close
relationship, they’ve met 38 times. I’d be surprised if Putin did
not give Xi a heads up about his plans.” “If China offers Russia
military support of any significance, that will have a very
negative effect on the US-China relationship, which is already at a
dangerous point.” “China will be careful about how dependent it
becomes on Russian oil and gas in the future.” “A weakened Russia
is not in China’s interest. It won’t allow Moscow to be the close
partner that Beijing needs.” “Taiwan will be far better prepared
for an invasion by China than it is today.” “There is a sentiment
in China that it’s time has come. The US is in decline and Beijing
needs to seize this opportunity to advance its interests.” “I don’t
think Xi Jinping is getting good advice. Like Putin he has a very
small inner circle of people giving him advice on policy.” DOOMSDAY
