Over two million refugees have fled Ukraine and Russia's economy has been crippled due to international sactions, bringing Western powers together in a coordinated manner not seen for several decades.

We speak to Kanti Bajpai, an expert on India-China relations, former headmaster of the Doon School in India, Vice-Dean for Research of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and now a professor at the National University of Singapore. He says China is does not want to be a paymaster for Russia as they confront Western sanctions, especially as most of China's natural constituencies in Africa and elsewhere voted against Russia at the UN.

Hosted by former diplomat, entrepreneur and civil society player Mark Runacres.
