Why China is Suddenly Turning Against Russia – Paul Warburg x MyHeritage

In this video, Paul Warburg breaks down the growing tension between China and Russia, a shift that has caught many analysts by surprise. Since the invasion of Ukraine, Beijing has quietly used the chaos of the war to advance its own interests in Siberia and the Russian Far East, areas where Moscow’s influence has weakened dramatically. With the Kremlin struggling financially, unable to maintain police presence or fund military salaries and benefits, these once tightly controlled regions have become increasingly vulnerable. Fuel shortages driven by Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries have only added to the crisis, leaving entire communities short on petrol and exposing just how fragile Russia’s grip on its eastern territories has become. Against this backdrop, China finds itself in a prime position to fill the vacuum Russia can no longer manage.
