Chinese envoy's 'peace' mission in Ukraine criticized as 'self-serving' as they head to Russia.

China's special representative on Eurasian affairs, Li Hui, is set to meet with top Kremlin officials in Moscow to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, though Western officials remain dubious when it comes to Beijing's neutrality in the matter. China has come under international scrutiny for its refusal to condemn Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine that began more than 15 months ago. Experts argue that Beijing doesn't necessarily have a vested interest in ending the war, but rather it is instead looking to improve its own international standing.
