Lindsay Gorman, senior fellow for emerging technologies at the Alliance for Securing Democracy at GMF, joined BBC World News on Wednesday, February 22, 2023 to discuss the meeting between Wang Yi, China’s top diplomat, and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Despite the fact that China has not officially supported Russia’s war in Ukraine, Gorman explains that China is not the peaceful broker that it tries to portray itself as. “The closer China gets to Putin, the harder it is to make that case that it’s really staying neutral,” she said.
