[Instant News/Comprehensive Report]Russia invaded Ukraine, and China strengthened its ties with Europe. Experts believe that China is trying to avoid falling into East-West confrontation because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and also hopes to use Europe to balance the deteriorating relationship between the United States and China, but Europe has begun to Reflect on the relationship with China.
“Voice of America”According to the report, Roderick Kefferpütz, a senior analyst at the Mercator Institute for China (MERICS) in Germany, said that China is friendly to Russia on the one hand, and tries to be neutral on the other hand, which will not leave a good impression in the EU.
Noah Barkin, an expert on Sino-European relations at the Rhodium Group, a research firm in New York, believes that China supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity, but at the same time refuses to criticize Russia and suggests that the invasion was provoked by the United States and NATO, which are embarrassing. The rhetoric won’t be forgotten in Europe anytime soon.
Grzegorz Stec, an expert on Sino-European relations at the Mercator Center for China Studies, said that Russia, under Russian President Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian rule, has invaded Ukraine and has prompted dramatic changes in Europe. The same authoritarian China has made policy changes, but Europeans have different views on how to deal with authoritarian and dictatorial regimes.
Grey said the shift in thinking about Russia’s authoritarian regime could strengthen those who see China and Europe as “institutional adversaries,” which could affect the EU’s attitude toward China in the medium to long term.
