As opposed to what exactly?
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoAs opposed to a generally worsening relationship across the board. If China had done it it would have been back to business as usual in no time.
- mantas 7y agoAnd Russia still is doing business almost as usual. Still getting factories built by Western companies, Nord Stream 2 coming along etc. The biggest change is probably Russia's own counter-sanctions on food imports.
