This is a question. I have no knowledge other than the MSM narrative.
Current thought is difficult to approach. Perhaps China believes that rhetoric should be in a delicate balance to achieve certain objectives? That would mean that communication must be curated. Who are the allowed voices that express these ranges of opinion? Are other voices forced out of the country? Are they only the "dissidents"? Who are the credible ones?
My premise for asking these questions are varied.
1. Much of Chinese writing seems to be reactive and defensive. World media comes up with their weekly dump on China, and Chinese authors refute them: Human rights, Trade excesses, Economy faltering, Militarism, Supporting war, (disobeying the imposed Rules-based-Order), etc.
2. A huge percentage of analysis and historical writing in English is Euro-Centric. We have learned to view every continent through the "white-man's", Christian eyes and interpretation. What do other cultures think? And China could be in the lead of world-thought.
3. Euro-Centric thought, both for and against, is the same thing. It puts the western nations as the key players. Even if we come to believe that their objective is Taiwan joining NATO, and it's better fight NATO in Ukraine than in the China Sea; that is a biased belief. (It may be true for Iran and North Korea? But not for China.)
____________
What is the current view of the limits, of the vested interest China has in Russia?
Who are the current authors who express this?
Where can their writing to be found?
(I hope to find this group a resource.)
