China has voiced support for Russia after a short-lived insurrection posed the gravest challenge to the 23-year rule of Vladimir Putin, a close partner of Xi Jinping in his push for a new world order and strategic alignment against the United States.
The brief mutiny by the Wagner mercenary group reverberated beyond Russia, including in neighboring China, where Xi has forged a strong rapport with fellow authoritarian Putin thanks to their mutual distrust of the West – a strategic bond that has only deepened in recent years, even after Moscow’s stumbling invasion of Ukraine.
Internal conflict within Russia not only risks the stability of its 4,300-km shared border with China, it would also make Moscow a less useful partner for Beijing to counter the US – or worse, it could give rise to a new regime more open to the West and less friendly to China. Wen-Ti Sung, a political scientist with the Australia National University’s Taiwan Studies Program, said Beijing is likely worried about the weakening of Putin.
