Pro-establishment narrative
While the latest push to defrost US-China relations has been somewhat successful, Beijing's growing alignment with Moscow poses a significant threat to that goal. It's entirely unacceptable that Chinese companies have provided material support for Putin's war against Ukraine.

China-Russia relations must be respected, instead of smeared.
