Good news 4 #Ukraine's war efforts, if permanent:

"The main bank for #Russian importers, the #Chinese Chouzhou Commercial Bank, has stopped payments to the #RussianFederation, — Vedomosti."

*Why is that?*
This is directly in opposition to #Xi's #SinoRussian strategy, as described at length in his article last year:

Attached: 1 image The main bank for Russian importers, the Chinese Chouzhou Commercial Bank, has stopped payments to the Russian Federation, — Vedomosti. According to the publication’s interlocutors, last week the bank informed clients of its intention to terminate relations with any citizens of Russia and Belarus. Chouzhou is the main bank for Russian importers due to its relatively soft internal control system and convenient geographical location of the head office. #AureFreePress #News #press #headline
