China wants Putin's war to continue

[william]

"This is a global war. China stands behind Putin and wants the conflict to continue because it weakens the West, drives a wedge between America and Europe, and drains Russia." Kasparov’s point is that Russia’s war against Ukraine is no longer just a European battlefield. It is part of a wider contest where Beijing benefits from Moscow bleeding itself while the West is forced to spend political, military and economic capital. For China, a weakened Russia is useful, a divided West is useful, and a long war that tests American and European unity is useful. That is why helping Ukraine win is not only a Ukraine policy. It is a global security policy.

I agree that this is what China wants, but it isn't reaping the dividends that China would like as the US really isn't terribly interested in investing in Ukraine.

Would be better for China if the US/Iran war got going again.
