In the past, Russia and China had grown closer in part out of a common antagonism towards the United States. In 2019, Chinese leader Xi Jinping described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “his best friend”. China and Russia participated in September in joint military operations, known as Vostok 2022, where over 140,000 troops mobilized to the Pacific Coast to “protect sea communications, areas of marine economic activity and support for ground troops in littoral areas”. With the partial mobilization of the Russian army, China has faced more pressure from the West to leverage its relationship with Russia and pressure President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Do you think that China can distance itself from Russia?
