Description

The questions are:

It will be great if you can answer the following questions:

1) How do you think China views the current mood in several Asian especially Southeast Asian countries who are concerned about the Chinese "endorsement" of Russia? Is Beijing concerned about its "reputational damage" in Asia, if it may be described as such?

2) Some Asian analysts have suggested that by not criticizing the Russian military operations against Ukraine as an invasion, China is inducing anxieties and concerns that the similar approach taken by Russia against a smaller nation might be repeated by China, such as against Taiwan or one of the smaller neighbors such as Vietnam and the Philippines. How concerned is Beijing with such concerns and anxieties in the region?

3) Any other related thoughts/views that you might like to share.
