Intellectuals are anti-Russian consensus
Xu Weixin, the former dean of the School of Art at Renmin University in the United States, said that even a three-year-old child can see that it is wrong for Russia to invade Ukraine! From the outbreak of the war to the present, this is also the basic identity of Chinese intellectuals. Many people, even at a certain level in the system, also support Ukraine, they just cannot speak out because of pressure.
Xu Weixin said: Regarding Ukraine, anyway, people I know basically support Ukraine. As long as they are well-educated, most people support Ukraine, but some people are inconvenient to say, that is. It's still comforting. For example, including the deputy curator of the National XX Pavilion, he liked me a few times. They're still terrified.
