In 2013, China signed a treaty with Ukraine that implied China would defend Ukraine even with nuclear weapons if Ukraine was invaded, but this agreement has not been honored however.

On Thursday, April 28, 6:30-8:30 (CT), educators are invited to a FREE webinar from NCTA and the University of Washington with Professor David Bachman on “Implications of the War in Ukraine for China," which will address:
1. Chinese reactions to the Russian invasion of Ukraine?
2. What China has done since the invasion with Russia, with the US?
3. Why does it seem that Chinese public opinion supports Russia?
4. The implications of the war for China-Taiwan-US relations?

Resources for teachers on this topic will also be presented. Details and registration at https://jsis.washington.edu/earc/implications-of-the-war-in-ukraine-for-china/.
