My take, in the absence of others.
No matter what happens in Ukraine, Russia comes out of this a spent force. China has seen the western stans all cosying up to the EU and wonder would Russia might look like in ten years time. I think China know they are better looking for concessions now...
I did and suggested my thoughts on the situation. You said I'd misconstrued the article so I asked how you interpreted it.
Don't respond to my posts if you don't want to debate.
