China's War in Ukraine
The US is warning that potentially China could start providing weapons to Russia for their war in Ukraine. I think also when force was being talked about, it was equipment such as drones, which of course China has particular interest in. The ceasefire from the Chinese point of view is a shrewd piece of positioning because it puts forward the idea at least ostensibly that China is interested in people laying down their weapons above all. But most analysts would admit that if there were a ceasefire right now, it probably would give an advantage to Russia rather than Ukraine. And the Chinese probably wouldn't regret that.
