As Xi Jinping concludes his Moscow trip after meetings with Vladimir Putin, many are wondering whether China could broker a deal on Ukraine. Miles Yu, former principal China policy and planning advisor to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and currently Hudson Institute China Center Director and Senior Fellow, tells Taiwan Talks the motives behind Xi’s visit and what to expect as the two authoritarian leaders met. He takes a deep dive at Chinese diplomacy, how and why Xi’s mediating efforts and proposed plans are likely to be rejected by Ukraine, its damage to China’s global image, and lessons Taiwan can draw from. Yu also shares his view of the “insincerity” of Chinese offers and how the U.S. is the main theme of this meeting.
