Do you think China is really concerned about the instability caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, or are they loving this?

Short term, it's definitely a win for China - consternation in the EU, plus a great source of oil from Russia.

But China plays the long game. And except for Taiwan, they don't like to see countries split up. "China firmly advocates respecting and safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said, according to a statement from China's Foreign Ministry. "This equally applies to the Ukraine issue."

China doesn't want to lose Tibet . Or the Uyghur Autonomous Region. Or Hong Kong. So when Russia violates the sovereignty of a neighbor and cuts away a few pieces, this goes against China's long game.

China is walking tightrope. If the situation goes out of control, it will hurt them badly. Short term, they benefit from it.

well they see this as the blueprint for their plans for Taiwan, and while I don’t support them the Western media propaganda about China needs to stop

Russia is trying to push USA out of Europe all together. Its more easy to do business with Germans and French.

They are loving it.

China doesn’t care so long as it doesn’t hurt them.
