Could be, if one views this sort of squabbling through a China always bad lens, but.... China and Russia are pretty good friends ATM, and to be honest, the Soviets were their friend historically as well, for example in 1937, when Japan invaded Manchuria, USSR came to the rescue very quickly, by sending troops on their trans-Siberian railway. The USA, GB, France etc. were busy sitting on their thumbs, pretending that WW2 was not brewing, thus allowing the wholesale slaughter of innocent civilians - and anyway, Manchuria was a long naval trip away for those parties: The slaughter was happening to slanty-eyed yellow people, (not my interpretation, but reflects the view of the time) so who really cared, apart from the USSR?

For that matter, the (deepstate, neocons) US has long been seeking to break up the strong relationship between China and Russia, because, well, commies (so they say). This emity towars friendly relations is historical as well. (((They))) are grinding their teeth at the developments of the BRICS, for example.

My theory is that China does not want a color revolution to happen in Taiwan. For good reason: Taiwan and China have many ties, including trade, language, history, even religion in some respects. Peace is obvio the answer. Prolly many peeps in Taiwan do not want a color revolution either, actually, because it would interfere with lucrative business.

But, Taiwan is riddled with NGOs (deepstate, neocons etc.) who DO want to de-stabilize, in the name of muh democracy (so they say), and all that cuttin-of-boys-genitals jazz. So, China are aligning themselves, via trade, with Russia, and watching the going-on in Ukraine with great interest.

BTW, the Guo Min Tang was historically dead-set against the Communists - that is why they retreated to Taiwan. They are now the Taiwan party that wants to align with China, and are looking to win the 2024 election, which will put paid to this entire US-Taiwan alignment project. That should tell you something about the brand of 'Communism' that China is pursuing - that is, the Guo Min Tang are not objecting to Beijing anymore. In my opinion the Chinese are no longer following the original Communism, but something else. Watch this space.

If you want to find the true, break-everything communism of the Bolsheviks, look no further than the Democrat party in the USA, and most of the EU MEPs.
