The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
China must be made to understand that the international community will not tolerate any attempt to aid Russia in its illegal invasion of Ukraine — Beijing's international diplomatic relationships and economy will suffer if this continues.
Establishment-critical narrative
The US has prolonged the conflict in Ukraine by intensifying its arms deliveries to Kyiv, yet it continues to spread false information about China’s supply of weapons to Russia. US sanctions are demonstrations of double standards and bullying.
