I think this is not good news for Ukraine and Europe.
Yeah but really it’s just one entity: The Heavenly Emperor Xi, his vassal minion Tsar Vlad and the mandarin administrating the North Korean Prefecture.
Superpower-Russia led by Geopolitical Grandmaster Putin can’t defeat Ukraine without China’s help
Hey, what’s this China doing here! Lukashenko was hoping to have his own three-way thing with Putin and Kim!
Assuming they are at least semi rational,
China probably hopes Russia will require full attention and weaken USA so that they can achieve their own ambitions in the south china sea. And possibly taiwan. It doesn’t look good when you make very strong territorial claims and others just ignore them. At the same time they hope the continuing war will further weaken and isolate Russia to drive Russia into their sphere and prevent Russia developing too much to become a true rival in northern asia.
At the same time this war costs China a hell of a lot of money, Chinese economy isn’t exactly booming at the moment and it’s largely due to what the war did to global markets so they will probably not want to see it continue indefinitely.
I don’t know about north korea. China hasn’t really been too happy with them for a long time.
