Better yet, Pres.Xi should implement his own version of "The Hundred Flowers campaign" to ferret out these internal locusts, Qing like corrupt officials, business tycoons that made enormous amount of wealth cavorting with the British empire.
I agree China denouncing Russian invasion publicly is useless because nobody in West cares or will forget in five seconds, China is still bad in their eyes, and is the foremost enemy. It only serves a useless narrative of moral superiority which only West cares about.
However, among Chinese geopolticians, the reason I say Russia is an imperialist is because I do not want to see a China-Russia formal treaty alliance or mutual defense pact, because it would drag China into nuclear WW3. You are not married and should not be married, just only dating with consensual sex (with protection), but never marry.

He is a professor of political science specializing in US politics. I watch his videos, and his analysis on the US is flawless - far better than most American "analysts." But it seems that his knowledge of Russia is limited.
We are ok with history. I think the White House should focus on its inflation problems and forget about China
"White House: China must decide for itself its position on the war on Ukraine and how it wants history to remember it."

No need to worry about it, China has come forth many times that it won't sign such treaties and it won't do it with Russia either.
Those Chinese western loving elites are probably working on this guy's behalf. Watch the video, and listen well to what he wishes for China, the elimination of Xi, and others like him. Those geezers have really passed me off.
If Russia and China wanted to form an alliance, they would have done so many years ago. The reason why they didn't is quite simple. China and Russia allied in containing the NATO and the US from encircling them. However, both countries have different interests. China doesn't have a beef with most European countries and doesn't want to drag into a conflict with any of them in case of Russia and European countries have a fallout. On the other hand, Russia has friends in Asia such as India and Vietnam that don't have a good relationship with China. Therefore, both countries want the flexibility to maneuver so there were not a formal alliance.
However, the containment and new iron curtain are already here. Alliance or no alliance, Russia needs China and China needs Russia.
Reminder that the real work happens behind the scenes. The official readouts of such calls are mostly fluff.

Nuggets of wisdom from Zhao Lijian to Western reporters:
FP: The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken yesterday repeated President Biden’s assertion that Russian forces are committing war crimes in Ukraine by deliberately targeting civilians. You just spoke about China’s awareness of the scale of damage and civilian casualties in Ukraine. But I’d like to ask whether China has any concerns at all that these civilian casualties have been caused by Russian forces? If it’s possible, could we avoid talking about previous US actions that may have caused civilian casualties in previous conflicts?
Zhao Lijian: I have answered many questions about civilians in recent days. Of course China is saddened by civilian casualties. There is no point in badgering us on this question.
I also have a question for you. As a journalist working with a mainstream media and news agency in Europe, you need to think about the following questions. As the culprit of the Ukraine crisis, why does the US keep smearing China instead of reflecting on the security predicament in Europe caused by the eastward expansion of US-led NATO? Why doesn’t the US listen to the observation by Dr. Kissinger and other experts that Ukraine must not be either side’s outpost against the other? Why doesn’t the US reflect on its hypocritical move of watching the fire from across the river after fanning the flames?
I am not sure if it occurred to the Europeans that the US was fully capable of pushing for NATO’s eastward expansion but sent no troops to support the Ukrainian people. Did you forget that the US was among the first to evacuate civilians and diplomatic personnel from Ukraine? Have you ever imagined that the US would never send a single soldier to fight and die for Ukraine? You are associated with a major media outlet from Europe. Did you ever think about why has Europe become a battlefield and a wrestling ground of major-country rivalry? Why has Ukraine become a pawn to be sacrificed in major-country rivalry? Maybe our friends from major European media outlets should also raise these questions to the US.
The least thing the US should do is to sling mud at China which is not a party directly concerned. The despicable move of the US only serves to reveal its guilty conscience and true intention to shift the blame and profit from the Ukraine crisis.
