Interesting move for President Xi to finally bother to make the call to President Ze. Encouraging if this is actually an effort by the Chinese to broker peace, after the release of its 12 point peace plan. But why has it taken Beijing two months to get its act together in calling Kyiv, after first publishing this plan in February and then the Xi - Putin summit earlier this month?
We can look at the call in completely different strategic light.
This is the moment that Xi makes the effort to become the peace-maker; if he succeeds, he makes USA irrelevant; becomes the champion of Global South, and becomes accepted as the super power that others listen to.
