Anyone read the spectator article on China's involvement in the Ukraine war? I didn't post it in the war thread as it's political.
Apparently China have been mediating to try and stop NATO escalating the conflict, such as the Polish MiG-29 deal. If true, I would be pretty disappointed, getting involved in this war is not in China's interests.
I do think the Polish example is not true, the reason America backed down is Russia pretty much threatened war with America if they sent them. No reason to think China had anything to do with it.
Story about Xi stopping US from sending MiGs come out a few days ago.
Then a couple days later an former US admiral on an Bloomberg op-ed claims the US is revisiting MiG-29s, F-16s, Patriot Systems, and an Israsli Iron Dome to Ukraine.
Now CNN is saying the US officials may be sending patriots systems to Ukraine.
If we soon hear about MiG-29s being send to Ukraine then this dubious article about negotiations from China is going to get even more suspicious on the timing.
