Chinese international relations scholar Dingding Chen on Beijing's position in the Russo-Ukrainian War

This week on Sinica: Chén Dìngdìng 陈定定, professor of international relations at Jinan University, in Guangzhou, offers his perspective on how Beijing views the ongoing war in Ukraine that began on February 24 with the Russian invasion. He concludes that while Beijing's short-term alignment with Russia is fairly locked in and unlikely to shift soon, the long-term prospects for the partnership are far less certain.
