How China-Russia Relations Would Affect the War in Ukraine

Josef Gregory Mahoney, Professor of Politics and International Relations at East China Normal University, says Europe misunderstands China's stance on the war in Ukraine. He argues that China is taking a neutral role in the conflict and not aligning itself with Russia despite their strategic partnership. He speaks with David Ingles and Stephen Engle on "Bloomberg: The China Show."

China-Russia relationship is not open for interference by any third party.. anyone who tries to interfere will be disappointed, you can ask Blinken about it..

Before going to bed, my wife complained to me: "This Russia is such a bad country, if Ukraine wants to join NATO, that is their business and freedom, Russia has no right to intervene. This is just an excuse for Russia to attack Ukraine." I said nothing, got out of bed and went to the kitchen, before returning to bed with knife in hand. I said to my wife: "Let's go to sleep" When she saw the knife, my wife suddenly sat up and looked at me with wide eyes. "What are you doing? Sleeping with a knife?!" she exclaimed. I replied, "Don't worry, let's go to sleep. Besides, sleeping with a knife is none of your business and that's my freedom." My wife said to me, "You're crazy! How can I sleep when you're lying next to me with a knife? What if you accidentally cut me?" I replied: "Well, you don't even trust your own husband, how can you expect Russia to trust Ukraine?" Sleeping with a knife is like Ukraine joining NATO."

[@Bob.55]

More like you were an aggressive dishonest, manipulating, controlling a$$hole to your wife in the past which caused her to want to sleep with a knife to protect herself from you. Then one day you pounded her face in and it forced her to more drastic measures like taking a gun to bed.

[@petergreenwood7731]

A meeting is needed - USA, China and Russia to iron out security Energy. borders, trade currency, climate - the whole shabang USA need to sustain primacy is what is preventing this obvious need. The boy wonder diplomat is where pressure should be concentrated - Blinken. He won't so we wait for the usa election soap opera to unfold - 6 months away. Biden is more of the same, Trump is the hope to create an atmosphere of cooperation as the new multi polar world emerges. Or will he resist, double down to preserve USA primacy? USA has the tools to ef it up for everybody Bloomberger still has trouble recognizing BRICS+ The almighty USD is coming home. BRICS nations do not want USD reserves anymore. That huge debt relies on it. The debt is unsustainable, dependent on that international trade in greenbacks. Nations rejection on holding reserve dollars places the USA in a position where that huge debt must be addressed.

Professor Josef Gregory Mahoney spoke many valid points regarding the war in Ukraine, it is really proxy war between the Ukrainian, the American, the British, the European and the Russian about the controlling of energy price. Most importantly, China is not party to the war in the Ukraine. The U K was really making a BIG mistake by breaking away from EU four years ago, now the British people are paying the price. Chinese and Russian should be official languages of SCO, other language is not relevant, especially English.
