Analysis: Ukraine war tests growing China-Russia partnership

  1. If Russia loses China’s firm support, it’s over for Putin.

    It seems China is trying to have it both ways, they want the war to end so the west will indulge in their products, and they want to keep their very, very dependent friend happy.

  2. Xi Jing Ping is probably both pleased and annoyed by the war. Annoyed by the unpredictability of Putin and the fact that he’s power hungry, but pleased by the fact that Russia will have to depend on China for many years to come.

  3. So Xi Jinping met with Vladimir Putin multiple times last year and I think after their 3 or 4 meeting Russia starts building up troops in the oblasts near Ukraine. Then Putin and Xi meet again at the winter Olympics and 2 weeks later Russia invades Ukraine. Meanwhile Chinese social media is run amock with pro Russian propaganda and China has all but stated that it’s going to help Russia evade sanctions.

    Sure does look like Xi and Putin were conspiring to start a proxy war while maintaining a China’s plausible deniability. Pretty good proxy war tactics on the part of China.

    The only way Putin comes our ahead in this war is if he has extreme guarantees from China. While I can’t prove it this does look awfully sus.
