"Ukraine's Strategic Importance in the Face of China's Ambitions"

The United States can deter China from military aggression in Asia by helping Ukraine defeat Russia. American assistance to Ukraine doesn’t distract from a more significant threat from China. By helping Ukraine successfully repel an assault from Russia and by imposing strict sanctions on Moscow, we are deterring an authoritarian and revanchist China from taking similar actions toward Taiwan and other vulnerable Asian nations. Abandoning Ukraine and its European allies would send a similar signal to Chinese leaders, raising the risk of a Taiwan contingency.
