China's Dilemma: Support Russia or Woo Europe

China faces a dilemma as it aims to drive a wedge between Europe and the US. While Europe values the US for protection against Russia, China is reluctant to turn against its strategic partner.

However, if China wants to woo Europe away from the US, it must abandon the notion that European governments are Washington's 'vassals'. It could potentially influence the Russia-Ukraine war through trade leverage, but this would require China to call for a ceasefire and Russian withdrawal from Ukraine, and halt trade with Russia which would cripple its war effort.

China's leadership must decide whether to remain supportive of Russia or pursue its own great power interests, potentially weakening Europe's alliance with the US. China must choose between being an 'insecure, defensive great power' or a 'self-confident' one prepared to sacrifice the interests of its allies.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is visiting China to find common ground in ending the war with Russia. China, with close ties to Russia, has also pushed for a peace deal, putting it at odds with Ukraine and the West. Kuleba aims to lobby China to attend a planned peace conference, as their support is crucial for a favorable deal. Ukraine's strained relations with China have been exacerbated by Russia's invasion, and Ukraine has its own peace proposal. The US, under Biden's leadership, has been Ukraine's largest supporter against Russia, but with Biden's exit from the race, there is uncertainty about future US support. Trump, the frontrunner, has made vague promises, and Republicans are divided on aid to Ukraine. Kamala Harris, Biden's endorsed successor, may seek to boost aid. Meanwhile, Ukraine is telling China that Russia is not ready for good faith talks and demands Russia's attendance at a peace summit.
