China's Role in Ukraine Conflict: Views and Plans.

Chinese public opinion on Russia's invasion of Ukraine is shifting, with some citizens re-evaluating their support for Putin and Russia. While many still side with Russia, a newer survey suggests that about half of Chinese respondents expressed some level of opposition to the invasion. However, President Xi Jinping's policies towards Russia remain unchanged, and his recent visit to Moscow showcased their intentions to deepen ties on a wide range of topics. Despite favourable Chinese media coverage of the Russian perspective on the war, there is a general reluctance among everyday Chinese people for Beijing to give unconditional support to Moscow.
