Western governments have responded with sanctions and condemnation, while China, which has viewed Russia as an ally in the past, has yet to take substantive action aside from a call for peace from its central government. On April 4, The New York Times reported the communist nation is even advancing an internal campaign to paint Russia as sympathetic against Western political interference.<\/p>\n<p>Quatrini\u2019s expertise in Chinese government and scholarship on Uighurs have benefited Eckerd students for four years in courses such as Chinese Environmental Politics, East Asian Comparative Politics, and Political Science Research Methods.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;9266&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;16&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><em>Allison Quatrini, Ph.D.<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;32&#8243; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-2-percent&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;right&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]She explains that Russia and China\u2019s relationship is \u201ccomplicated and has been for decades. I think Russia is a bit wary of being a junior partner in its relationship with China at the moment: China used to be its prot\u00e9g\u00e9 \u2026 Still, the fact that both are nuclear powers balances the relationship and helps Russia maintain some autonomy in this regard.\u201d China and Russia share similar feelings of mistrust and suspicion toward Western interference, as well as a desire to tightly control their countries. The recent revelation of the internal campaign may say more about Xi Jinping\u2014general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, chairman of the Central Military Commission and president of the People\u2019s Republic of China\u2014than Chinese sentiments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wonder if this is more about President Xi maintaining his own hold on power in China,\u201d Quatrini speculates. \u201cNormally, he would step down this fall, but he doesn\u2019t seem to plan on doing that. By emphasizing this conflict between Russia, China and the West, he can support his own bid for power. I think this new development shows that what President Xi is telling party cadres matters more than any spin news outlets or pundits try to put on the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chinese action to this point has been somewhat limited, Quatrini notes. It was recently revealed that Russia asked for military aid and equipment from China; however, they have not yet offered aid. Furthermore, Chinese officials have started referring to the conflict as a \u201cwar,\u201d which could be a sign of Chinese neutrality.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;48&#8243; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; advanced_gradient_angle=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-2-percent&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; el_class=&#8221;lg_text&#8221; advanced_gradient_angle=&#8221;0&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span class=\"accent-color\">Despite this, Quatrini says, China appears to be serving its own interests and playing both sides, sticking soundly to its anti-Western position.

The relatively neutral or positive responses of countries like India and Syria could indicate to China that an invasion of Taiwan may not be harshly condemned. Backlash against the Russian invasion, however\u2014such as economic sanctions, public condemnation and Ukrainian resistance\u2014may give President Xi pause. \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t be that difficult for the U.S. to get allies and partners to support Taiwan\u2019s defense, and that includes the U.K., Japan, South Korea and Australia,\u201d Quatrini says, offering a note of hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still not entirely convinced that this pivot means bad news for Taiwan. Airlifts and planes can move soldiers, but the number of soldiers needed in addition to the supplies necessary for a successful invasion will only arrive on the island by sea,\u201d Quatrini explains. \u201cFor China to move these soldiers and supplies, it will need to do so by sea, and ships will move slowly. They would open themselves up to missile, air and submarine attacks. Essentially, for China to succeed, it would need to destroy Taiwan\u2019s air force and defense at the beginning of an invasion. Taiwan has already been planning for this.
