Is Russia proving today how China can win tomorrow? | Defence in Depth

China is learning all sorts of useful stuff from the war in Ukraine about how far to push against established international norms; how to inoculate one’s country from a global backlash against bad behaviour and how to drive a wedge between one’s adversaries. All this has come at virtually no cost to Beijing as the Kremlin has copped most of the flak. So, as he casts a hungry eye at Taiwan, does Xi Jinping see Vladimir Putin as a very useful tool indeed? In this episode of Defence in Depth, Dominic Nicholls, The Telegraph’s associate editor, explains how, by invading Ukraine, Putin has shown his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping where the edges of Western tolerance for aggression lie. #russia #china #taiwan Find our Defence in Depth playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJnf_DDTfIVAddjHY3ss14eTzAZ_koulx For our podcast Ukraine: The Latest, visit: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJnf_DDTfIVCYlsANGtNkzMeM9Fdmqzxr Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
