let's bring in cnn's global affairs analyst kim dozer to talk a little bit about the diplomatic sidethis. so, kim, why would china make this move at all? what were they trying to accomplish by provoking the united states in this way? >> that is what u.s. national security and intelligence officials are trying to figure out right now, and since china can be an opaque place to penetrate, that's going to leave some head scratching until they can get their hands on more of the debris in this 1500 or -- it's supposed to be 15 football fields by 15 football fields the debris they're scouring to see what kind of equipment was attached to that balloon and try to figure out did it definitely come from chinese military intelligence? there is a supposition that maybe this was pent to embarrass the biden administration ahead of the state of the union by sending something up that was so public it couldn't be ignored, but you could also surmise that since previous balloon flights had been not really reacted to, not noticed publicly, that maybe china was pushing the boundaries. there's even analysi

bring us back to europe because your written that europe has never been an independent actor in global affairs. and that had always dependent on the united states militarily and politically. and i think it can be argued that the lack of independence would be ignored when times are good. when people are enjoying prosperity, i think that would be very likely to mistaken posterity for independence. but things are changing right now. they are turning sour in the united states, but even more so in europe, how long do you think it will be like that this political discourse, variable legend, political discourse at a fair hearing from the european capitals? how long will it able and will be able to sustain itself until people protest not against the or for russia, but against our own living condition. you asked me to make a prediction, i would say hate. because that time i made the prediction. i doesn't come to i hate making a connection there because many european liter, judging from that speech, is believe that, you know, they can try and be the patients if you heard in citizens endlessly and that p

if it does take on a mediation role here. mean that certainly bolsters china's influence and global affairs. absolutely. i think one thing to point out here too is that this narrative, the china is not condemning russia is largely a western one, which is ok on one side of this conflict. and it's important to recognize that any negotiated solution is likely to leave both sides unhappy. that is just the nature of high stakes negotiated settlement and something we should be prepared for. and i think again, china by not condemning russia really is not a party to this conflict and able to contribute to a negotiated settlement. and course about what china get out of us. because it's also been a very sensitive time for china, especially with how the pandemic has played out their presumably this also boston present. she is influence as well. these need is had to beijing to discuss this a absolutely. so i think china as a major economy, one of the largest economies in the world, certainly benefits are from an end hostilities. of course, ah, this will improve global sentiment, economic prosperity, pu
