What lessons might China’s leaders learn from the recent Wagnerian drama in Russia?
That tone of complacency might surprise some in the West. Logic would suggest that turbulence in Russia should provoke a crisis of self-doubt in the corridors of Chinese power. After all, just days before Mr Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the Russian leader secured a written agreement offering friendship “without limits” from his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.
Today, Mr Xi’s bet on Mr Putin looks riskier than before. Yet if outsiders expect to hear Chinese leaders fretting openly about backing a loser, they fail to grasp the nature of the two leaders’ bond. The rulers of China and Russia are united, powerfully, by contempt for the West and its liberal, democratic norms.
