Has this article been published in China or only in the West?

This is published from an institute in Beijing. Stuff doesn’t come out of the heart of China and into the New York Times by surprise. It is also in line with this other work from inside China, Possible Outcomes of the Russo-Ukrainian War and China’s Choice

The message emerging from China is that it is a mistake to back Putin here as a long-term strategy. The most revealing quote from this other paper is “there are “no eternal allies nor perpetual enemies,” but “our interests are eternal and perpetual.””
