I have a different question.

I found it interesting that the Government of China was quick out of the gate to endorse the existing president. This seems to be an interesting case of daylight between the Russian position and the Chinese government position. I wonder if either of you have thoughts about what the strategic agenda of China is. Is it distinct from Russia's? What are its goals in Belarus? What does this suggest about the relationship between Chinese and Russian foreign policy?
