Everything is propaganda these days on all sides. One has to carefully sift out the truth amidst all the garbage.
It's all ball bearings these days.

"China and Russia are comprehensive strategic partners of coordination. China-Russia relations are based on non-alliance, non-confrontation and non-targeting of third countries," ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said.

And let’s face it, in any partnership between China and Russia, Russia is going to be the junior.
No it means Putin screwed up and China doesn’t want to be associated with losers.
That’s not what they’re saying...They are not allies in the Military sense.
Yes.
What China means is they are both independent entities, not on the same wavelength, but yes, they are still partners in crime.
The Japanese never trusted the Germans.
yes but also China has this self-image as some kind of benevolent middle player shunning the extremes of both sides
I think China is signalling here that as we see things like urban areas of Kharkiv being hit with Multiple Launch Rocket System thermobaric rockets and the world shudders in horror, that China did not sign up for that
The Borscht Fuhrer needs to walk a fine line as he incites his generals to do more to conquer these Ukrainian cities as they don’t have the precision-guided munitions and other capabilities to do so without horrendous casualties
What do teh gaes call it? pootin' is the "bottom"? Is there room in Xi's harem for both poots and dopey Joe? Or does this count as a demotion for gropey? "Junior-bottom"?
Talk about being thrown under the bus!
The people of Taiwan owe much to the heroic Ukrainians. Comrade Xi has taken notice. If Russia could not overwhelm Ukraine with its plenitude of tanks and jets across frozen ground, will China’s one child only, little combat experience army armed with locally produced weaponry and supported by a navy and air force of inexperienced sailors and pilots equipped with untested ships and jets, be able to successfully conduct an invasion across 90 miles of open ocean?
Comrade Xi knows Putin does not have a bright future. He also knows that if he gives the order to attack and fails, his fate, his family’s fate and the fate of his supporters will not be genteel or pleasant.
Under Obama’s terms Putin shifted to China....jumped into bed says it well after playing footsie with China for several years. It benefits both their needs currently....but they both have their own agenda of being super powers.
Of course Putins destroying himself from becoming that with his actions in Ukraine. hough Russia will regroup after Ukraine I don’t think he’ll be in office when the leadership acts again in the future. However it’s possible.
They were last month
As of 2020, Russia supplies China 15%, or $27.3 billion in crude oil each year.
You have to love global corporate fascism and its ability to warp everything.
Is the Chinese relief column, to liberate the oppressed Chinese minority/majority in parts of Siberia approaching their line of departure yet?
How long can they resist the Global feast occurring on Russian assets?
Taiwan may be off the menu for a while. They (Taiwan) still better strike well the iron is hot though, and load up on poison pill armaments, like the anti-tank missiles that have so heavily attrited Russian formations. Arm and train every adult male, like the Swiss or Israelis.
China is just hedging bets here.
They are monitoring the situation and panicking over propeganda.
Russia has so far shown its military has serious structural issues.
Failures in Ukraine will be washed away if Russia takes Kyiv and other cities.
But Russia have screwed up so far. The Russian military that emerges from the failures and still probable victory in Ukraine will have a lot of important military expeirience. For comparison the advantage the US ilitary has is the fact we’ve been at war operations around the globe on and off for the past 50 years. We know how to do war.
Russia has had capability on paper, but that is seriously not the same. If Putin pulls off the win in Ukraine then a lot of retirements in the Russian military will happen if they have any sense.
Bawhaha 😂...dumb Putin fell for china’s ...I’ll have your back buddy! China is up to something! Xi is watching how the world leaders are turning on Rasputin and doesn’t want any part of this....for now. Mark my words watch China pull away from the notion of invading Taiwan. The economical consequences are too perilous for China.
