That is a very good question.
We know that, in this conflict, China considers itself a neutral actor that wants to be constructive. As others have pointed out, however, we know that China is providing financial support to Russia as well as components that can be used militarily. Further, it often raises Russian positions in international or multilateral forums.
As to Canada's position, we attempt to make those points fairly often to Chinese authorities, simply asking them to use their influence to achieve peace. We also point out that Russia's actions in Ukraine are contrary to the Global Security Initiative that China proposed in 2022 and that it wishes to implement multilaterally. Since this initiative includes important principles such as the territorial integrity or sovereignty of nations, we point out those contradictions in China's position.
