Almost one month into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Beijing regime’s diplomatic dance during the crisis has been drawing intensifying criticism from the West.

As the world rebukes Moscow for mounting the war, the regime has sought to cast itself as a neutral party, with an array of statements seemingly aimed at appeasing both sides of the conflict.
