China Throws Putin Another Sanction-Busting Lifeline: Xi Jinping Lifts Wheat Import Restrictions – Gifting Russia Another Economy Boost as West Tries to Stop His Ukrainian War

China has thrown Russia's Vladimir Putin another sanction-busting lifeline by lifting wheat import restrictions in an economic boost to Moscow.

President Xi Jinping has backed keeping China fully open to wheat imports from Russia in spite of sweeping sanctions imposed by the West in a bid to stop Putin's war in Ukraine.

Imports had been restricted in recent months over concern over Russia's measures to prevent plant diseases, particularly in agricultural crops. The move to keep the market open was reportedly part of a deal between Moscow and Beijing concluded earlier this month and is the latest sign of growing ties between the two states.

If anyone is paying attention, This is not happenstance. This looks very much like it was coordinated.

Russia and China had this mapped out. Brandon and the west are stumbling, the leadership is devoid of wisdom and the moral fiber to do anything but vacillate in place like a mewling kitten.

Our leadership is utterly and contentiously corrupted, they have been weighed and measured and are found wanting. This is the result of their lies and theft against the very nations they “lead” and deceive.

Xi: So much choosing now between our inside friend Zhao Bi Denn and our outside Marxist rival friend Poo Teen. Gives me headaches.

In end, all will drop to bottom as China rises to world domination. Now I feeling better.

Xi and Putin both share a deep hatred and resentment of the West for what they see as historic insults that go back hundreds of years. The “enemy of my enemy is my friend” logic applies to their evil alliance.

Fox News reported Russia is a major grain seller to the U.S. and that Ukraine, as most people should also know, is a major breadbasket of the world.

With china weighing in on pootie poot’s side, I’m wondering how long it’s going to be until the Chinese-controlled mainstream American media starts to say “Hey, those russians aren’t so bad after all. Here’s what you need to know...”

"If anyone is paying attention, This is not happenstance. This looks very much like it was coordinated."

The whole thing has been choreographed between Washington, Russia, and China. This has been in the works for years. Trump got in the way. That's why they had to steal the election, to enact the plan.

Its a double win for Russia, if they can steal the wheat from the Ukraine, to sell to China.

Goodbye Ukraine, so long Taiwan, farewell US sovereignty. Biden is the Manchurian president.
