The world has watched in horror as Vladimir Putin’s bloodshed in Ukraine is televised for all to see. China has remained supportive of Russia’s carnage even as Putin has indiscriminately targeted civilians, cruelly taking the lives of innocent children and elderly Ukrainians.

Xi Jinping has watched as the Biden administration has stumbled in its attempts to protect democratic allies — from letting Afghanistan fall to failing to prevent Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. China is assessing the lessons learned from Russia’s war in Ukraine as Xi weighs his options and expands his regional hegemony in Southeast Asia.
