Unity of Purpose Defeats Division

There is a current diplomatic push to hold China accountable for its actions related to Russia and to clearly delineate boundaries. The United States and Europe are expressing concerns over China's potential support for Russia, especially in military terms, though China has refrained from providing lethal assistance. Instead, China is perceived to contribute indirectly by supplying production means. The Biden administration aims to redefine red lines for China, with Europe positioned to exert considerable influence due to its complex relationship with Beijing. China appears to underestimate Europe's unity in foreign policy toward its actions, thinking it can exploit divisions. A coherent and collective European response to China's support for Russia could significantly impact China's strategic calculus, emphasizing the importance of a united front in diplomacy.
