Who the heck is going to be able to stop China?
No-one will be able to cut them off even if they side with Russia openly.
China sells $2.5 TRILLION per year to other countries, half trillion to USA
USA would collapse if China stopped selling here.
- gls2ro 5y agoThe play between the West and China is not so direct it is more played indirectly. So US/EU will not ask/impose China something nor China will support Rusia against US/EU directly. Everything will happen indirectly and none of these two sides will risk the chance of a direct question where the answear could be NO thus making them act directly => collapsing global economy. So if China wants to support Occident they will do it indirect and the same will go for US/EU: they will not ask China directly to ban Russia but more suggest that China should not be very active to support Russia.
