Asked why China would be motivated to keep the war going between Russia and Ukraine, Chang referenced a July 2 conversation between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Kaja Kallas, vice president of the European Commission, in which Wang said he did not want Russia to lose the war for fear the U.S. would then shift its attention to Beijing. Russia reportedly said it will stop the front-line fighting if Ukraine withdraws all troops from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, but Chang contends the U.S. cannot be a part of brokering a peace deal that includes Ukraine ceding territory to Russia, because China is watching. “Trump could very well be responsible for the world’s next war by the way he ends the war in Ukraine, because if he shows the world’s aggressors that the West will not stop aggression … then, of course, the Chinese are going to say, ‘Well, why don’t we grab Taiwan or the Philippines or Japan?’” he explained.
