So Chyna is pretty much down to a single source of oil? They've been demanding rock-bottom prices from Russia because Russia had no where else to sell it. Russia has a bit more leverage now.. will they jack up the prices knowing China has no alternative source? My, how the turns have tabled. I guess we'll see how strong that friendship is.
Now if the Ukraine war comes to an end.. Russian oil sanctions eventually get lifted and a desperate Europe starts clamoring for Russian oil as an alternative to buying from America. What happens to the price of Russian oil? What happens to China? Their economy is already teetering on the brink and suddenly their energy prices could skyrocket. Trump checkmated China and defanged the dragon. So much for dreams of taking Taiwan by force.
I think the end of the Ukraine situation won't be long now. One of Putin's main demands was no NATO membership for Ukraine. NATO has been proven to be a farce and I think it's only a matter of time before the US withdraws and NATO will be completely worthless. Trumps messaging is pointing to this and I believe he is setting the stage.
Russia's oil situation is suffering. Ukraine has hit some very important oil infrastructure that impairs Russia's cash cow and their ability to continue their war efforts. Russia doesn't have anything else and oil revenues are down even with the prices going up. Like China, the Russian economy is also suffering. They have almost blown through their sovereign wealth fund trying to fill the fiscal holes. They are hemorrhaging money.
You are right that Russia is now in a better negotiating position with China. That wasn't the case just a year ago. Russia was quickly turning into Xi's vassal. Now China needs Russia. How quickly fortunes can change.
Trump is killing a lot of birds with this one stone.
I've read about other happenings in Chyna. Businesses have loans to pay & not paying their workers. The workers have been burning some businesses, this affect insurers& major fraud. Over all Chyna has been hit in many different ways & they're in trouble. God is judging them for their evil e.g. human trafficking, organ trafficking, biowarfare etc.

Agreed. Heaven watches and the check is due.
Chyna is a city in Ukraine.
China is another country.
