Your error is thinking the Ukraine conflict is between Putin & Ukraine. One does not negotiate with the house servants.
Beijing (not Peking) is full of amateur hour mistakes, particularly in its diplomacy. I laugh when Beijing whines "Why are my neighbors allying against me? It must be the machinations of the United States, not when I make diplomatic seizures of all the ocean territory up to their coasts".
