Why does China keep supporting Russia over Ukraine? | DW News

China's top diplomat Wang Yi is in Moscow, meeting Russian leaders, just days ahead of the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Wang Yi held a series of meetings, in the backdrop of a war that has rapidly shaped a 'no limits' partnership between Moscow and Beijing. The latter is now reported to be considering supplying 'lethal support' to Russia. A development that the US has cautioned would be a 'red line'. Amidst those possibilities, we are looking at a deeper question. Why does China keep supporting Russia over Ukraine? Especially given that China appears to acknowledge that Russia has violated Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Are China and Russia increasingly on the same side or is Beijing still as it claims, impartial? And is there a point at which support for Russia over Ukraine becomes untenable for China?
