    So far China seem to have taken the position that they want absolutely nothing to do with Ukraine

        I think they're the only "important" (as in, geopolitical and economic power)nation who can say "i'm done with this bullshit, let's figure it out" and claim relative impartiality. Most countries from the global south are done with it, but they can't go out and say it without getting chastised by global north countries

          I've figured it out. China will broker a peace deal. All of the people utterly convinced that Russia is losing now have a mental out. It wasn't that I was a dilluded idiot supporting neonazis, it was some massive conspiracy where the duplicitous Chinese pulled the strings to make Ukraine surrender, otherwise they would have won.

      Chinese diplomats seem of the position that they want nothing to do with wars, generally speaking. The closest thing to a military conflict they have brewing is territory disputes over Taiwan, an island that has been recognized as territory of the Chinese government for the better party of a century. Even then, a lot of the conflict appears to revolve around whether US warships can just cruise through the Taiwanese Straight on the theory that an independent Taiwan gave them permission to do so.

      Beijing has been far and away one of the most peaceful actors in global politics in living memory.

        Hey don't forget that weird skirmish between Indian and Chinese soldiers about a year or two ago where they fought bare handed and fell off cliffs and stuff
