Czech President: China is Learning Lessons from the Ukraine Conflict

Czech President Peter Pavel stated that "China benefits from the prolongation of the conflict in Ukraine, as it may push Russia into a series of concessions." He noted that "Beijing cannot be trusted in its mediation efforts to resolve the Ukrainian crisis." In an interview with Politico, he expressed skepticism about "whether China is genuinely interested in resolving the crisis as quickly as possible," emphasizing that "China learns lessons from the Ukrainian conflict every day and closely monitors Russia's actions and how the West responds to them."
