What does Putin's invasion means for a potential Chinese takeover of Taiwan? And how is conflict in Europe affecting the wider Asia region?

As China throws their weight behind Russia over the war in Ukraine, Ankit Panda, fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, joins Arthur Snell to discuss the ā€marriage of convenienceā€ between Moscow and Beijing.

  • ā€œChina have determined that in this conflict their interests lie closer to Russia than the West.ā€
  • ā€œAt the level of the Chinese Communist Party there is a calculation that China is all in behind Vladimir Putin.ā€
  • ā€œThere are no regional conflicts in today’s world when a country the size of Russia or China is involved.ā€
  • ā€œIndia directly condemning or sanctioning Russia was out of the question from the get-go.ā€
  • ā€œI don’t think Russia and China are allies. This is a marriage of convenience, but there isn’t a large amount of political trust there.ā€
