Then why didn’t She and Moti (the leaders of the two largest countries in the world), along with 100 plus other countries, join the SANCTIONS on Russia? Answer, because they’re not buying the Western line that the military operation was ‘unprovoked’.

That’s quite a conclusion. India did not join on sanctions because they are too dependent on Russia for their energy. If they shut off Russian oil, their people would starve.
China has always been a quasi-ally of Russia. Xi not joining in is no surprise. But, you know Xi is watching the Russian military and eyeing Eastern Russia at the same time. I would suggest that Siberia is at risk for invasion as much as Taiwan.

Seems they could replace it with Middle Eastern oil, like most of the Western countries have to do. And given their refining capability, if they had gone with the sanctions, the sanctions would have been far more effective in getting Russia out of Ukraine. Seems to me that we didn’t make a very strong case to them.
“China has always been a quasi-ally of Russia.”
That’s a stretch, and I suspect you know it. In any case, they are now FULL-UP partners thanks to the Neocon policies of starting the Ukraine War and provoking China over Taiwan.
Regardless, how about the other 98+ countries.
“But, you know Xi is watching the Russian military and eyeing Eastern Russia at the same time. I would suggest that Siberia is at risk for invasion as much as Taiwan.”
China doesn’t have an expansionist history, and no one has made a case for China wanting to take Siberia. In fact, it seems to me that as long as Russia is willing to provide China with resources at decent prices, China would be good with that. Remember, China isn’t run by suicidal Neocons.
