Beijing would like to participate in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, China’s foreign aid and international development agency announced on Monday.
“Post-war”?
Like, don’t lift a finger to help, until everything is over? Tell the struggling, smaller country about financial support once they’re defeated? Because let’s be real, that’s what this means if they’re offering it right now. Diplomatically it’s beyond tone-deaf. BTW, does China still claim to not be on Russia’s side but “neutral”?
I hope Zelensky tells them they’ll get contracts if they help right now, and only then.
And out come the wolves
After backing up Russia and supplying them with military hardware? Fuck off!
Likely as not Chinese companies will profit through shell corporations and NGOs rebuilding Russia and Ukraine. The US could’ve but they dismantled USAID and are actively courting Russian interests in the region.
