Beijing continues to present itself as a neutral observer of the war in Ukraine, and describes relations with Moscow as a peaceful partnership between 2 independent powers. However, a increasing number of documents, sanctions decisions and journalistic findings show that Sino-Russian cooperation has exceeded the level of diplomatic declarations and joint maneuvers.

It is not yet a formal military alliance, but is increasingly acting as an alliance.
