“China is currently importing more and increasing amounts of their crude from Russia not America.”

Crude’s only one of their imports. They can’t import all they need from Russia because Russia doesn’t produce it all.

“America is too busy begging Venezuela and the Saudis to sell us oil as it is.”

Only temporarily until we get rid of Biden.

“And the $122 Billion in imports from the US is totally trumped by huge Chinese exports to the US.”

You forget to mention that ALL of China’s top 5 import trade partners are part of the greater Western alliance. So it’s not just $122 Billion we are talking about. Their total imports are actually about 80% of their exports, so they are net exporters, but since they are mainly importing raw materials and components needed to fuel their production, once they cut off those imports, their exports necessarily will stop as well.

Russia “doesn't produce it at all”?
Since when?
Russia can pretty much supply a big chunk of China's oil imports if they cut off the dopey Europeans.
