'I think major powers have to work together to get us out this crisis,' Huiyao Wang, president of the Center for China and Globalization, told Newsweek.
China is also well aware of these limits, and experts see a lack of meaningful gestures on the part of the U.S.
"I think China is in a unique position, as it is the only major power in the world that is caught in the unexpected war between Russia and the West," Wang said."It is important to engage China and increase the likelihood of a diplomatic peace solution to stop this crisis. China and the U.S., as the two largest economies in the world, have obligations as the major stakeholders to see an agreed plan to end this war.
But Wang is certain that Beijing will continue to forgo the kind of alliances built by major powers in centuries prior. The two men vowed further coordination in various fields, including foreign policy. But as the fighting progressed, China has moved toward a more neutral position. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping pose during their meeting in Beijing, on February 4.But whether Washington is willing or even able to come to the necessary terms with Beijing to make a difference on Ukraine remains to be seen, especially as long as Taiwan remains at the center of the U.S.-China feud.
