Chinese representatives participating in the negotiations on the final communiqué of the G20 summit have changed their neutral position on the war in Ukraine to a more pro-Ukrainian one.
Very interesting. China’s pressure could be a major asset, if they follow through with this as a change of policy and not just intent.
Why would they do this? They’ve been pretty friendly to Russia previously
Yeah i wouldn’t trust their motivations, more likely they want to be able to pretend they are against the war while behind the scenes they aid russia.
Might be that they sense which way the wind is blowing. China helps Russia because it suits China’s interests to do so - the moment supporting Russia is less profitable than opposing it, China will swap positions. There’s no love lost between them.
