China’s special envoy for European affairs, Lu Shaye, has said he is “appalled” by US President Donald Trump’s treatment of America’s European allies. He added that a peace deal for Ukraine should not be decided solely by the US and Russia.
China has been outspoken against the war in Ukraine since way before, but didn’t want to loose Russia as an ally, while the EU was under US influence. Now that that is changing, China has more room to act.
Same if you look at the Iran/Russia relationship. It was mostly an alliance out of geopolitical necessity. Now that Israel is more brazen about its cooperation with Russia, probably looking towards a new Alliance of Russia, US, Israel politics in the Middle East, Iran will also change its position towards Russia.
