Analysis: Have China and India shifted their stance away from Russia on Ukraine war?

LA Times  

Chinese President Xi Jinping attends a session at the Group of 20 summit in Indonesia on Wednesday. The backroom wrangling at the G-20 over how to address Russia’s invasion in its statement was “very, very tough,” summit host Indonesian President Joko Widodo said. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the G-20 summit’s “surprisingly clear words” on Ukraine “wouldn’t have been possible if important countries hadn’t helped us to come together this way — that includes India and it also includes, for example, South Africa. “And I am sure that this is one of the results of this summit: The Russian president stands almost alone in the world with his policy.” John Kirton, director of the G-20 Research Group, called it a “big breakthrough” and an “active shift” by China and India in which they joined the “democratic side of the great immediate geopolitical divide.” Privately, however, some diplomats were wary about declaring that China had shifted its stance on Russia. China, however, may be “in a far more awkward position than India because China is the one that promised unlimited support to Russia a few days before the invasion,” Suri said.
