China’s 'leverage on Russia' could help resolve war in Ukraine

“They have leverage on Russia the rest of us don’t necessarily have and they also have a big stake in Ukraine.”
China could prove a significant player in Putin’s war on Ukraine, but it must be held to account for its growing powers after hacking into the UK electoral register.

The war between Russia and Ukraine benefits China on many levels. 1). It depletes munitions held by the West. 2). It creates division in Western allies over the degree of response the West applies. 3). Takes the focus of the West away from Philippines / Taiwan S. China Sea. 4). Increases China’s leverage over Russia. 5). Diverts attention from their economic issues which is a train wreck occurring in slow motion. As to the electrical register, they want this data to track Chinese dissidents.

It was us who failed diplomatically regarding Ukraine. European leaders, the EU and America. And most importantly of all, Ukraine. The diplomacy was all played out publicly. It was very interesting to watch. I have an interest in geopolitics and was watching it daily. It was Putin's choice to invade. But the invasion could have been easily avoided. Even permanently. Our diplomats and politicians never take responsibility for their failures. It was us who derided, ridiculed, ignored, insulted, threatened, belittled... Russia. And when they threw down red lines we stepped straight over them with astonishing arrogance. Game on.

[@kimwelch4652]

Bullies suffer from an internal insecurity which cannot be resolved by external conditions. They try to control everything and everyone because they believe that will make them feel secure. However, no amount of external control can resolve the internal insecurity. With countries this can operate both at the personal or leadership level, and through the leaders to the country's behavior as a whole. The leaders transmit this feeling of insecurity throughout the government and it becomes a unshakeable country level neurosis. China's highest leaders feel insecure, and therefore the country behaves in an insecure manner. The insecurity is internal and cannot be resolved by negotiation or diplomacy.

[@ticthak]

That insecurity is not unjustified, EVERY major country is at war(if only in the corporate, non-nationalist economic sense) with EVERY other country, as well as internally,it's the nature of capitalism as an operational philosophy and practice, or any other Darwinian social mechanism. This is no defense of CCP methods and practice, they are simply less subtle and at times clumsier than the global oligarchy.

Western societies spread capitalism around the globe. Now they want to complain of unfair practices. The same thing people providing labor to corporations have been complaining about for decades. The solution was to use the financial system to shift control back to western nations. Now let me explain in simple terms why the western strategy will fail. You can barter goods for goods you cannot barter fiat for goods. Maybe for the short term but eventually you will be left holding the useless paper and the artificial wealth that was achieved through it's inheritance. The moment you place restrictions on trade you risk the chance of voiding the trade. Keep this fresh in your minds. Those offering the goods have the value in their hands, those offering fiat are undermining the value of their fiat by implementing restrictions. If your means of exchange becomes less valuable to me as a producer than the added cost will be felt by the issuer of the fiat. Sadly liberals have undermined the value of industrial production and shifted focus to banking and monetary manipulation. War in Ukraine is an excellent example, plenty of money to be thrown at Ukraine but very limited goods needed to supply Ukraine. The balance of producers and consumers has been destroyed by government intervention. Government stimulus to the favorable and sanctions to those unfavorable. In simple terms a fraudulent banking and monetary system fueling consumers to profit the producers. Corporate offshoring of labor cost has created a monopoly over local competition. If the western countries actually wanted to solve their problems they would first have to recognize their problems originate at home and not in China or Russia.

Just because the problems originate in "Western" corporate greed doesn't mean these same motives don't drive EVERYONE'S agenda. Our problems are certainly capitalized on by Putain and the CCP...along with any other power-seeking or -wielding party in the world.

If china was ready to become pert of the world thatvis respectful ,it would have made moves already tostop colonising africa , contributed to disaster areas without hindering others doing media shows ,and look after their own people better ....once the idea of capitalism caught on ,they used it without the honour and ethics in the background ..chi a has a long way to go to learn values and not be so aggressive . .

Almost everyone is aware that Ukraine lost badly. The remaining question is whether the Russians will take Kharkov and Odessa. Times Radio with its amazingly nonsensical contributions from American and British military men helped enormously in our understanding why they lost against the Vietnamese and Afghan peasants and of course against the Russians

[@economiccrisis9267]

China lost to Vietnam and Russia lost in Afghanistan too, but you ain't talking about that though.

[@rustyshackleford2719]

Kyiv in three days, right? If Russia can't threaten Kharkov two years into the war then something has gone very wrong. Odessa? Russia got kicked out of Kherson. Considering how things are lined up now, it's hard to see how this can be viewed as a Russian victory either when one considers all the losses Russia will face from this war. All the people who left Russia forever, the loss of foreign investment, the material costs to the Russian military, the political isolation, the cost of treating all these injured soldiers and families without fathers. It's a catastrophe.
