I don't agree with you. Those territories have already been settled through the border treaties between Russia and China. There is no "question" as to who that territory belongs to. The treaties are final and binding.

You can quibble on the words, I would say India has supported Russia as well for similar reasons. Really an amazing discussion on r/Europe , I would not have expected such full throated support for China and Russia but here we are. Sorry for all those dead I suppose.

Historically Russia helped themselves to lots of China while China was weak. Now Russia is the junior partner and will need more and more help from China to continue the war. Which won't come cheap.

Common Xi W The Chinese bots who glaze their Great Leader /s are really omnipresent. China is supplying Russia and has given at least tacit approval for North Korea to do so too. They're already involved.

China has paid actors and bots active in this sub. Watch the downvotes. Or, maybe they’ll try to be sly and not downvote me because I said they would. Well, what’s it gonna be?

You are getting downvoted because people see that you read a word and either skipped everything else or you dont understand what you read. There is no response to your comment because it was all already addressed above but you didnt read it If you care to understand where you were wrong then read it, if you dont care then stay ignorant and leave…

What are you even talking about? I literally just said China has zero interest in mediating an end to the conflict and you tell me they're benefiting from the conflict as if that is a rebuttal?
-
China cares about China. Selling to whoever wants to buy. It will not get involved beyond that unless it knows where the wind is blowing.

You guessed it—people in the first island chain, like Taiwanese and Japan, South Korea, like to emphasize that they are members of the free world or G7—essentially standing with Europe, not ordinary Asian members.Lol
