China and Russia have been expanding their military collaboration during the Biden term, and the Ukraine War has expedited that process.
Yoshimasa Hayashi, foreign minister of Japan, said this past weekend that Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine had “shaken the very foundation of the international order.”
Hayashi feared that a confrontation similar to the Ukraine War could happen elsewhere, and the international order, which has “underpinned our peace and prosperity, could be fundamentally overturned.”
