China’s War Narratives on Ukraine: Entering the Fifth Year

The meeting focused on examining China's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine over the past four years, featuring discussions between Ukrainian and international experts. The panelists explored how Chinese state media, academic discourse, and public opinion have evolved since 2022, with Yevheniia Hobova, Oleksandra Stryzak, Volodymyr Sidorenko, and David Badowski sharing insights from their unique perspectives. The conversation revealed that while Chinese state media maintained a largely consistent pro-Russian narrative, there were notable differences between official outlets and independent digital platforms, with the latter sometimes providing more nuanced coverage. The panelists discussed how Ukraine's negative public opinion toward China had shifted dramatically since the war began, with 57% favorable views before the conflict dropping to 72.5% unfavorable by 2024. The discussion concluded with reflections on the potential role China could play in Ukraine's post-war reconstruction, though public sentiment and official positions would likely pose significant challenges to Chinese participation in such efforts.
