China, important in the unstable Ukrainian bank (DIEEEO04-2015)

Leaving aside the hypothetical damages or benefits -both geopolitical and economic- that the crisis that exists in Ukraine really might mean for the Ukrainians themselves, the United States, the European Union and the Russian Federation, there is a much less-known aspect of this complex scenario which is the participation of China in it.
To try to bring some light to this regard, throughout the document it will be discussed what Beijing could lose, according to the framework existing prior to the start of the conflict. Likewise, it will be studied how the Chinese government is attempting to turn around the situation, and demonstrating its proverbial prudence and cunning, to transform these weaknesses into new opportunities, trying to obtain the greatest possible advantage for their interests.
