i am confusion...
You should realize that western sources are so comprised by US gov, NATO, CIA, miltary-industrial complex et al that they’re worthless as far as getting any factual reporting re: *anything* Ukraine. It’s wishful thinking and cheerleading that adheres strictly to the party line. The wishful thinking and cheerleading will disappear down the line faster the US-vaunted mighty 300,000 strong brave Afghan army did.
China is no dummy - they’ll blow hot & cold, at least diplomatic wise and play Peter against Paul. As every country does in it’s foreign policy.
But China’s busy building bridges across the world, literally and figuratively - especially Africa. They’re forward looking for the long game while the US is wasting time flopping around with it’s foreign policy.
The Chinese hardliners back Putin, which Xi is a part, along with the Chinese PLA.
—
In today’s China there is only Xi Jinping - all the others were threats are disappeared, dead or deposed - civilian and military
Doesn’t China and Russia also have a dispute over territories somewhere?
—
Yes in the Russian Far East - but that is settled now - the Chinese renamed all the cities Russia took from them by force, back to their original Chinese names. Russia is now a vassal state of China.
Message to Putin: Don’t depend on China unless you want Russia to become like China. Deals with devils don’t turn out well.
