Sounds like that “friendship without limits” might not be as friendly or unlimited as previously suggested.

Also, archive link because paywalls suck.

Denying Chinese citizens entry into Russia is “brutal” and “excessive” but bombing schools and hospitals is OK. Just China things.

Russia is too slow to realise it’s becoming China’s bitch.

China doesn’t want it to be weak, tho.

A country without an economy to backup its war goals will always be weak. I couldn’t dream to know what China hopes to achieve by playing both sides. I’m guessing they have multiple goals. Goals such as the feasibility of a Taiwan invasion or perhaps to pick at the corpse of a rotting Russia.

It’s all possible, but I feel like Russia’s actions and results aren’t what they liked. They themselves has a monicker ‘paper tiger’, and their ally being disabled by their own corruption sets a ground to question if China even a power to respect on the world stage. A second-hand humiliation, and I don’t think it can be outweighted by spoils they can get from Russia now. China seems to care about these things.

That’s a very good point. Second-hand embarrassment hadn’t crossed my mind. Perhaps they might be trying to decrease that risk by pretending to be arbiters. Though indeed that can only be propaganda for their own citizens and closest allies because nobody else is buying that bs.
