He added that if Russia is able to occupy most of Ukraine and claim victory, "it will be seen as a victory for authoritarian states because Russia, China, North Korea and Iran are now all tied together.

According to him, China will take the United States' retreat from Ukraine as proof that if it continues to put pressure on Taiwan, the United States and its allies will give in here as well.

Chinese officials think so: 'Well, since Russia was able to do it, we can do it too'. So the United States' determination to support countries suffering from authoritarian aggression is very important,

He noted that after the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in 2021, China launched a broad anti-American information campaign through state media and social media, portraying the United States as not honoring its commitments and trying to undermine Washington's credibility among its Asian allies.

Therefore, stopping the supply of American weapons to Ukraine would embolden China in its aggression against Taiwan and reinforce Chinese propaganda that the United States is an unreliable partner,

According to the head of the US Indo-Pacific Command, Admiral John Aquilino, China is building up its military and nuclear arsenal on a scale not seen since World War II, and all indications are that it is committed to an ambition to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027.
