The United States casts China and Russia as the two biggest nation-state threats to its security. China is viewed by Washington as the gravest long-term 'strategic competitor' and Russia as an 'acute threat.'
China told the United States on Monday, February 20, to keep out of its relationship with Russia, just as Beijing’s top diplomat prepared for a visit to Moscow, and possibly a meeting with Vladimir Putin, to discuss ideas for peace in Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the planned visit by China’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, to Moscow but gave no date for the trip. Chinese President Xi Jinping has stood by Putin, resisting Western pressure to isolate Russia. Chinese-Russian trade has soared since the invasion of Ukraine, and Russia has sold Asian powers including China greater volumes of oil.
China has refrained from condemning Moscow’s operation against Ukraine or calling it an “invasion” in line with the Kremlin, which describes the war as a “special military operation” designed to protect Russia’s own security. When Putin and Xi met face to face just before the Ukraine conflict began, the two leaders sealed a “no limits” partnership between China and Russia that triggered anxiety in the West.
