Wang Yi said the war in Ukraine involuntarily serves Chinese interests. The West is indeed maintaining its attention to Europe, which allows China to manage its own ambitions without international pressure.

The surprise of Europeans
According to the newspaper, the declarations of the Chinese minister were welcomed with great surprises by the European delegation. Beijing has always been reserved and in favor of a peaceful resolution of tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
Wang said during this interview that the Kremlin can continue to count on the political coverage of the Middle Empire. His words say that “Russia must not lose this war” could be heavy with diplomatic consequences.
If Beijing now clearly assumes its camp, China continues to deny militarily supporting Russia. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, thinks differently and says that Russian troops use Chinese weapons. He said on May 29 that China stopped selling drones to Ukraine and the West, but that Russia still benefited from these transactions.
Evidence goes in the direction of what the Ukrainian president claims and establish a Chinese contribution to Russian armament. This aid would go through “double use” products which can be used for civil or military purposes.

A thoughtful timing
The timing of Chinese Minister’s statements is not trivial. The United States announced on July 1 the temporary judgment of significant arms deliveries to Ukraine, such as missiles and precision weapons.
The White House wishes to put its priorities on other files than the war in Ukraine. Trump would notably want to focus on Sino-American relations, as Bloomberg claims. News that will make Putin and Xi Jinping smile.

The two men continue to get closer. Kremlin representatives will go to China in September at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit (OCS), an Eurasian political, economic and security partnership. A closed -door meeting that could be decisive for the world order of tomorrow.
