Is China growing tired of Russia’s war in Ukraine?

Al Jazeera  

There are signs that Beijing may be getting cold feet about its deepening entanglement. Beijing’s stance of strategic ambiguity – neither condemning Moscow’s invasion nor offering overt military support – is being tested by the war’s mounting costs and implications for China’s global interests. Recent shuttle diplomacy efforts by China’s special envoy Li Hui have raised doubts about whether Beijing truly desires a protracted war that upends the global order from which it has enormously benefitted. Far from the display of overwhelming force that could have emboldened China’s ambitions towards Taiwan, the war has revealed Russia as a declining power whose military capabilities are no match for Ukraine’s defensive commitment. Li Hui’s diplomatic tour has amplified Beijing’s calls for a ceasefire and negotiations – an implicit acknowledgement that the war has veered off its expected course and is no longer aligning with China’s interests.
