UKRAINE, China is walking a 'very slender path' with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, expert says

He says that the path will become 'like a razor' as the war continues

One military expert says that China is walking a "very slender path" in terms of how it's approaching Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and is predicting it will be very difficult for the country to stay neutral in the conflict.

Since the beginning of Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to wage war against Ukraine, Chinese government officials have attempted to make the appearance that they are understanding of each side and haven't taken a hard stance.

China's Ambassador to Ukraine, Fan Xiangong, told officials in Lviv on March 14 that the country has the "sovereign right of every nation."

"We will always respect your state, we will develop relations on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. We will respect the path chosen by Ukrainians, because this is the sovereign right of every nation," Xiangong said, according to the Lviv regional government.
