ICYMI Why China won't rupture ties with the West to help Russia when push comes to shove — via financialpost China Russia
As international sanctions mount against Russia over the invasion of Ukraine, one question looms, what’s China going to do?
There has been theorizing that this conflict is “a manifestation of the “fracturing of the global political and economic order,” he wrote. However, there is a big difference between China and Russia that ensures the former won’t turn its back completely on the West. While China has reaped huge benefits from the global market, Russia has not.
That means China and Russia have different interests regarding the global status quo, he argues. China would like to shape it but has a strong interest in preserving it, while Russia has less incentive to maintaining the current global order, as long as the world keeps buying its commodities.
