China helping the West defeat Russia's invasion of Ukraine doesn't mean the communist country would be targeted in turn, Defence Minister Richard Marles says.
Western nations have been calling on Beijing to use its diplomatic leverage with Russia to pressure the Kremlin to end its attack on Ukraine.
Mr Marles will use an address at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore to a room full of his counterparts and senior defence officials on Saturday to call on China to take a stronger stance against Russia.
