NYT: China’s support for Russia in the context of the conflict with Ukraine may increase
Employees of the administration of US President Joe Biden are increasingly expressing that the views of Chinese leader Xi Jinping on the role of his state in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have changed, and in the future China will support the Russian Federation more strongly. About it reported American newspaper The New York Times (NYT).
The Biden administration believes that Beijing tried to dissuade other countries from participating in the summit on Ukraine in Switzerland. China itself, which had previously expressed interest in ceasefire initiatives, did not participate in the event.
The “hidden presence” of the PRC was noticed at the G7 summit. The leaders of the G7 countries called the state an assistant to the “Russian war machine” and a capricious economic player. “Over time, it has become clear that Xi’s goal is to dominate China, from trade to influence on security issues around the world,” said an official in the US presidential administration.
Previously, the United States became interested in the opinions of China and other countries about Russia’s proposals for Ukraine. This was stated by Assistant to the US President for National Security Affairs Jake Sullivan.
