“A joint statement on international relations entering a new era has been prepared for the talks. It will reflect Moscow and Beijing's common views on security among other issues. China supports Russia's demands for security guarantees.”

“They [Russia and China] need each other, but for China this [the invasion] is not in line with their idea of a stable world trying to create more trades, but rather that this is going to create more uncertainty.”

“One has to wonder if Putin directly or indirectly let Xi Jinping know this was coming during their recent meeting. It is not inconceivable that Xi committed China to materially spoiling Western attempts to censure and sanction Russia while still allowing itself the flexibility to pay lip service to UN Charter ideas like sovereignty and the equality of nations in pursuit of its other objectives.”

“If China provides public support for Russia and seeks to shield Moscow from international censure following its invasion of Ukraine, it risks hastening the formation of global blocs, with China and Russia on one side and much of the developed world on the other. China would be tethering itself to the weakest major power and aggravating relations with all other major powers in the process.”

“China has always prized sovereignty in its foreign policy; it does not want to be associated with Moscow's action. The costs of doing so, in terms of relations with the US and Europe, and its global reputation, are too high. Yet, it has an important relationship with Russia that it doesn't want to damage. I see this as a major foreign policy challenge for Xi Jinping.”

“All parties should sit down to have in-depth discussion, and come up with a road map and timetable for implementation of the Minsk Agreement. The sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of any country should be respected and safeguarded.”

“Although China and Russia have moved beyond marriage of convenience to a quasi-alliance, relations between the giant neighbours are far from a formal alliance requiring one to send troops should the other face threats... With the international world so polarised, it's possible the United States and the West would be unified in isolating or sanctioning China together with Russia. An invasion would also show that China's repeated calls for all sides including Russia to resolve the Ukraine crisis peacefully have fallen upon Putin's deaf ears, raising doubts about its effectiveness as an interlocutor.”

“There is no cap on mutual trust between China and Russia, no forbidden areas for strategic cooperation and no end to friendship for generations of the two countries. The two countries consider each other as their diplomatic priorities, which a strategic choice based on their long-term development, with the fundamental aim of benefiting the two countries' peoples and maintaining world peace and stability, international justice and equity. China-Russia relationship is a true example of a new type of a major-country relationship. China and Russia are not interested in the Cold War mentality of either friend or foe and the so-called alliances and small circles cobbled together on the basis of selfish interests. Any attempt to demonize and provoke trouble is doomed to fail. We are ready to continue working with Russia to move forward firmly in the direction outlined by our two heads of state, to fully unleash the huge potential and advantages of cooperation between the two countries, injecting more stability and positive energy into the turbulent and changing world.”

“Putin may not be planning for a total invasion and occupation of Ukraine; not with merely one hundred thousand troops. But even a minor incursion into eastern Ukraine is bound to trigger a dangerous cycle of actions and reactions, with the US imposing massive and unprecedented sanctions against Russia, aimed at crippling its economy. That's why Putin is seeking the support of China's strongman, Xi Jinping, whom he's scheduled to meet next week on the sidelines of the Winter Olympics. With China on its side, Russia hopes it could resist US sanctions and successfully rebuff Western pressures.”

“[The West] is trying, as they say, to punish those who pursue an independent policy, primarily our country and the People's Republic of China, using all variety of unsuitable tools such as various sanctions, demonization in the media space, provocations by special services and much more.”

“Until now, the general assumption has been what we see Russia and China are a pair of countries that are essentially working together but they don't like each other. They work together because they feel obligated to work together. But that assumption might not be valid anymore. I think what changed is that both countries have come to some sort of a realisation that actually the world restructured in such a way in their perspective that they are on one side and the West is on the other. It's interesting to see some of the things they are talking about. So we have recently seen the Russians talking about AUKUS. This is a deal that has nothing to do with the Russians and it's not an area of strategic interest for Russians at all. Yet, we have a number of quite senior Russian officials who say that this is a bad thing for the world.”

“At present, certain international forces under the guise of 'democracy' and 'human rights' are interfering in the internal affairs of China and Russia, and brutally trampling on international law and recognized norms of international relations. China and Russia should increase their joint efforts to more effectively safeguard the security interests of both parties.”

“The summit [between China and Russia] would enhance the already high level of trust between the two countries. The strength of this bilateral relationship seems to be based on two things … It's extremely practical [mutual investments and trade ties]. They also value each other enormously when it comes to the diplomatic side of things.”

“A new model of cooperation has been formed between our countries, based among other things on such principles as not interfering in internal affairs [of each other], respect for each other's interests, determination to turn the shared border into a belt of eternal peace and good neighbourliness. As agreed, we will hold talks and then take part in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games.”

“A demonstration of support from Beijing would be important to Russia as it is on the brink of another confrontation with the West over Ukraine. But China, too, needs to show that it has major power allies as Beijing's relations with the West continue to slide downward, with some countries declaring [a] boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics.”

“President Xi Jinping will have a virtual summit with President Putin on December 15, Beijing time. The two heads of state will take stock of the bilateral relations and cooperation outcomes over this year, make top-level design for the relations next year, and exchange views on major international and regional issues of common concern. We expect and believe that this video conference will further enhance our high-level mutual trust, vigorously promote China-Russia close strategic coordination and the robust development of all-round practical cooperation. This will provide more stability and positive energy for the complex and fluid international landscape.”

“There is no grand conspiracy against the West. What this is, is a classic great power relationship, meaning it's driven by common interests, rather than shared values. By supporting each other, China and Russia gain critical dividends including reinforcing the legitimacy and stability of their respective regimes. Defence cooperation allows Moscow to project Russian influence on the world stage while Beijing is able to gain access to Russia's advanced military technology and operational experience. The relationship also allows Moscow to fill the technological gap left by the withdrawal of Western companies in Russia following sanctions imposed in the aftermath of the annexation of Crimea. And Chinese investment in technology has been absolutely critical to the realization of Russia's Arctic LNG projects.”
