BBC agrees:
#Russia-#China no longer a partnership of equals.
[#JuniorPartner] came to China cap in hand, eager for Beijing to continue trading with a heavily sanctioned and isolated Russia. His statements were filled with honeyed tones and flattering phrases.

2. At #WEF this year, Blinken obliquely connected #China to these, saying #Taiwan conflict could not be dealt with in isolation ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111771264934962097
