a 1440 real time on social media and see if its incidents went or the digital battle lines being drawn. the propaganda war for ukraine. russia's warning crane one year since the invasion began. we take a look back and into the future in the union. slowly. in february on d, w 150 dublin years, asia coming up to date, the u. s. saves china could be planning to on russia. in it's boring, you praying a prospect that if true would carry consequences warns you are a secretary of state antony blinking. what could those consequences be and why does china continue to support brochure? plus how a nation country is teaching you premium soldiers,

new battle field skills. ah. my british manager, welcome to did up the news asia. glad you could join us. john, i'll stop diplomat. one year was headed to moscow on monday, a day after receiving a warning from b u. s. against arming russia. you are a secretary of state antony blinking, and one ye met on the sidelines of the munich security conference in germany. in later interviews, blinker revealed that the u. s. had information that china was planning to provide legal support to russia in its war in ukraine, and that such support would carry consequences for b ging, i think we also had an opportunity to talk about the russian aggression against ukraine. we're here in munich and many of the country sure, focused as we are on that aggression. and one of the things that i shared with him

was a growing concern on our part. the china is considering providing legal support to russia and its aggression against ukraine. and i made clear as president biden has almost from day one with president she that, that would have serious consequences in our own relationship. and beijing has responded by using the us of spreading false information and caution date on finger pointing on china, russia relations. but let's get more context on this from alyssia who's gosh, she's a policy fellow at the european council on foreign relations. and john's been from war. so unless you have a secretary blink and has warned one ye, that china army, russia will have serious consequences. what kinds of consequences i'll be looking at? well, 1st of all, chinese denying all these patients. currency one we are trying to talk diplomat is on the charm offensive aimed at restoring relation for europe in capital.

especially with don't having very close economic and political type was aging. so in the context of china, russia relations time, a trying to create this image of it. so this time think itself from, from russia. however, at the level of actual bilateral relations, we're not seeing anything like this, but we still don't have any kind of tangible evidence of i actually helping russia in terms of actual military. so she did powerfully gone gauntlet. so we're seeing this power play between beijing and washington with accusations coming from both sides, but in the context of why you visit. this is a very old charm offensive. as an as times convent european, china can play a responsible role allegedly responsible role on the international arena. but

decide the chinese, the trying to build it does not have to translate into europe buying this kind of it's very, very difficult to try not given the scale and so by no russian operation. i do want to talk to you about the charm offensive with europe and the play that you're talking about. but 1st, let's just try and zoom for a moment that what's active? lincoln is saying china supported plan to arm russia is potentially true. and if this were, i need to ask you about the timing of it because russia began to face wrapping field reversals last year in october itself. why his china waited so long to decide tom, russia? well, it also also it depends on what we actually the fine as chinese support. so there are many different forms of aid that china could potentially open

russia economic age. it's one day mention and we're seeing biological fate or boosting years. but for example, when it comes to more strategic health, for example, in terms of new technology or semiconductors that russia is in very, very desperate need of we're actually seeing a lot of biological st also in this kind of from cronan. but they are not having edge, but we have many vacations here. i'm a fairly high quippman that could be potentially used to russia, but we don't know what russia is doing with this kind of micro on china, for example. right. why is it in china of interests to help russia? what does china gain from this wrong? they james perspective the current war in ukraine is not a war of aggression, russia bar of especially against ukraine. but it is rather

a proxy war between us lead international or there. and they are again, power such as russia or china. so in this context, aging shared the very similar view of the world and of the the know that should be governing this international order. and his trying to renew correctly, support russia in terms of competing these norms and values that are promoted by, by the u. s. so in this world, there is no room for your train being and actually a sovereign state with its own considerations on agency or interest. it is rather that finance russia trying to spread back against what they see the had money us let international order, which does not work in favor office predict. how do you, how do china is purported plans to arm russia square with one ye telling the munich

security conference over the weekend? that a chinese piece plan was in the works. i mean, these china no longer neutral. what is china saying here? well, as a matter of fact, china's position on this work hasn't change at all since the very beginning of the invasion. so what we've heard this, we can in munich is a recycling certain ideas that were put on the table already in march last year with she's proposing this action plan peacefully, quote unquote, peaceful the result, the ukraine crisis. and this time will try nice. putting on the table is actually not a peace plan. but according to the chinese read out, this is china, prohibition on the political settlement of the ukraine crisis. so look at the worthy, there's not russia invasion if not russia war against ukraine is the ring cried,

and its try not provision under political settlement. so here, old like the framing, the way china is presenting solution. it all implies that there will be some concession, the word russia. this is basically employing the language feminine to propose a settlement that is not necessarily taking into account ukraine. and what's the matter that you can think of it's ration also in munich, one was a pains to point out that the initiative lay with europe to try and stop the warfare and to use its strategic autonomy in the process. what was one you're trying to do here? are china has been for many years trying to exploit the concepts off your piano economy. but the way raging, understand this concept is very failure. so for china, the most important part of european strategic on me is enough hands to this been

your as a continent from the us and we're aging. the strategic goal here is to prevent a more unified bronze. these are the growing china, from, from realizing, from developing on the international arena. so, chinese trying to write a wedge between europe and the us also in the context of the world. by trying to appeal to some of your in capitals, especially those watch, rather keen on the notion of you're ready to go talk to me for example, paris in the attempt to, to drive a wedge between between europe and the us. european pause themselves, united when it comes to relations with china, to a certain extent. yes. so on the macro level, we are seeing a shift. the words being china as more striking to why go rather than talk rather

than a partner can only reach. but on the other hand, we still see many divisions on the continent. for example, now, eastern europe, especially in both estate, are in poland, right? we're seeing this move towards the china as an enable russia, which changes the calculation. but on the other hand, we have germany, we have, we have a police party going on like interest having a very different view on the nation. we live there for the time being, but thank you so much for breaking that down for us elisia who's got from the european council on foreign relations. thank you very much. thank you. ah, the number of countries are supporting ukraine, not just with weapons, but also training for its soldiers. also on that least east cambodia, more than 7000 kilometers away from ukrainian battlefields, cambodia is providing valuable de mining training to ukrainian troops. it comes

after keyboarding prime, mr. hunton offered the help to ukrainian president, volunteered zalinski, in a telephone conversation in november. my advice i see needed tinker is being taught how to carry out to control an explosion. yet he is part of a team of 15 ukrainian soldiers who are in cambodia for a week to be trained in d mining techniques. voice lori helpful training. it was so interesting for us because because if sir grown penetration roberts, alice, it's maria, it's very important or how to know how to provide the mining how to operate. and it will be very helpful for a clean our territory from russian mines. the are learning from the expert. cambodia is one of the most might affected countries in the world. after decades of

what an internal conflict that ended in 1998, there are still up to 6000000 unexploded devices lifting the country. organizations like the cambodian mind action center are working to clear them. now a country faced with an ongoing conflict is benefiting from that expertise since russia and read a new cream. last february, the country has been working on getting thousands of mines left across its territory. but the training had in cambodia is only the 1st step. but bologna, nicky, but we will send our experts to pull into train ukrainians using the same equipment and a p a. but we'll train them according to the situation in europe. because now we're only training them here in cambodia either the monmouth e, the situation, there's different company. so that's why we'll continue this training in europe where that can apply the equipment and technology to a real situation in the company of fall mahatma exec collaboration

that will hopefully help to save thousands of life. and that does it for today. there's more stories from the region on how the ukraine war is impact and countries in the region that's on our website. did epa dot com forward slash bishop, and as always, you can follow us on facebook and twitch up or back tomorrow at the same time. ah, with nico is in germany to learn german louis pinnacle, why not learn with him online, on your mobile and free chef t w's, e learning course, nico speak? mm
