      Definitely yes. Putin belongs to Xi.

      If Xi wanted the war over, Putin would roll over immediately. There is no world where lowly Putin gets to say ‘No’ to Xi.

    The US chose to saber-rattle with China before the war in Ukraine, which destroyed any possibility of this that might have existed. China was never going to agree to diplomatically isolating Russia when it would so obviously be next.

        Not a dude, and the US got along much better with China, until around 2019 when the wars in the Middle East were winding down and the US needed a new justification for defense contracts, and when it needed to shift blame for botching COVID. That’s when all of a sudden everyone started hating China for no other reason than the news said to.
