Abstract
When the risk of the Russo-Ukrainian War was brewing, Beijing demonstrated its support of Moscow’s decision in hope of miring Washington in conflict with Russia. Nevertheless, the war has had a totally unexpected development; with military assistance from the U.S. and other countries, brave Ukrainian troops survived the initial invasion and are now re-taking the occupied territories. A weakening and struggling Russia is no longer a geopolitical asset but a liability for China’s strategic goals. Washington is taking advantage of the war to weaken Russia and to assemble a united front against Russo-Sino collusion. A weakened Russia will eventually generate more geopolitical threats that Beijing cannot afford.
