US Officials fear China already decided to send Russia economic aid

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/15/china-has-already-decided-to-send-economic-aid-to-russia-in-ukraine-conflict-us-officials-fear


China has already decided to provide Russia with economic and financial support during its war on Ukraine and is contemplating sending military supplies such as armed drones, US officials fear.

The US national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, laid out the US case against Russia’s invasion in an “intense” seven-hour meeting in Rome with his Chinese counterpart, Yang Jiechi, pointing out that Moscow had feigned interest in diplomacy while preparing for invasion, and also that the Russian military was clearly showing signs of frailty.

There you have it. What I keep saying, Russia and China wish to establish global dominance. They both have been weakening western democracies a great deal.

So we are seeing the battle lines being drawn for the the 21st century. Russian and China against the western democracies.

China now knows that they can invade Taiwan. They can threaten nukes and no one will intervene. And they may have more economic security and can withstand sanctions. They own some American debt which may also help them.
