Background
Beijing observes with interest the war developments in Ukraine. Western media speculate that China can profit from its outcome and enhance its already strong international role.
While it is premature to foresee the outcome of the conflict, or the new geopolitical positioning, it is important to understand how the war is perceived and covered in China.
