Exactly. China is controlled by a dictatorship. The party has caused the deaths of tens of millions of people. There’s no democracy or free speech or other liberal values. The US changing funding for the war or pushing for a negotiated peace or expecting NATO countries to spend their fair share or renegotiating tariffs aren’t anywhere near the kind of thing that should cause Europe to forget what it stands for by working with China. Instead they should continue to work with the US but also each other.

By negotiated peace you mean taking the agressor's side?

I mean a negotiated peace. The alternative is a drawn out conflict that either wipes out Ukraine’s male population or significantly weakens the economies of Europe and America or both. Avoiding those things is taking the side of Ukrainians, Europeans, and Americans. Does it mean a dictator (Putin) gets some land? Sure. But I don’t think that’s the reason to seek peace.

This kind of reasoning made sense before the 1938 Munich agreements.

By now, we have to assume that giving a dictator a victory will only fuel his next campaign. Especially since it's a campaign for which Russia has been preparing for 70+ years – including exercises shortly before the latest invasion of Ukraine.
