-

The Sino-Russian partnership declared by President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin may not have the expected benefits as China faces losses in strategic and economic aspects.
-
Arguments that China has gained strategic advantages from Russia’s aggression towards Ukraine are flawed as a weakened Russia is unlikely to sustain a long war, and the US is unlikely to be distracted by it again.
-
The war has caused irreparable damage to China’s ties with Europe, as European nations see China as complicit in Russia’s aggression, and the EU moves closer to the US and farther away from China.
-
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has also undermined China’s position on Taiwan, with fears of an unprovoked Chinese attack on the island escalating due to Putin’s aggression, energizing US efforts to bolster Taiwan militarily and diplomatically, and prompting Japan to double military spending.
