How the Chinese Public Views Russia's War in Ukraine April 19, 2022 • 11:00 am – 12:00 pm EDT Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has fueled debates within China on how Beijing should respond and whether China should aid Russia. As Xi continues to stand by Putin, does the Chinese public support their leader’s decision? How do Chinese citizens view the conflict in Ukraine? A recent survey conducted by the Carter Center China Focus sheds insight into Chinese public opinion on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Please join the CSIS Freeman Chair in China Studies and China Power Project for a discussion on the key takeaways from the Carter Center’s study and what this indicates about the Chinese public perspective on China-Russian relations in the face of events in Ukraine. The discussion will feature remarks by Dr. Yawei Liu, Senior Advisor for China Focus at the Carter Center, and Michael Cerny, Associate Editor of the Carter Center’s U.S.-China Perception Monitor, who will provide a summary of the survey and related report findings. This event will be co-moderated by Jude Blanchette, Freeman Chair in China Studies at CSIS, and Dr. Bonny Lin, director of the China Power Project and senior fellow for Asian security at CSIS.
