Whereas India wants the war to end, China has no problem with letting the fighting continue. These positions have less to do with how China and India each feel about Russia and more to do with how they feel about each other.
For decades, Russia has been one of the few major powers that India could count on to help counterbalance China. The bilateral relationship amounted to a buffer and a hedge, ensuring that instead of being squeezed by its larger neighbor, India retained some geopolitical room to maneuver. But this system cannot work if Russia is hollowed out and dependent on China. And that is precisely the outcome the Ukraine war has produced.
Both want to see russia in one peace and both don’t care about it’s genocidal wars and continue trading. The difference is minimal.
It’s better not to put the archive link as the primary link, as the publisher is then obfuscated until the reader opens the link.
Edit: My point being that if someone were for some reason wanting to automatically block all articles from The Japan Times from their feed, they would be unable to do it in cases such as this.
I’ve added the newspaper in the title. I wouldn’t like to share paywalled information.
By all means, I promote a subscription to the Japan Times.
