China, like every other country acts in its own self interest. China is/was serious about invading Taiwan. Russia has been one of the few countries that have not taken economic and diplomatic action regarding Chinese aggression. The scale of Russia's actions and the scale of the world's reaction have shocked China. Both Xi and Putin have been escolating conflicts for domestic political advantage. Both may have overplayed their hand and be killed by their own security forces. Xi wants the blessing of the 20th CCP congress (ccp 100 year anniversary) for unlimited power but the Jiang Zemin Faction is fighting him tooth and nail. Xi is not popular within the Party and there even talk of him destroying the CCP. Both Putin and Xi are using very high risk stratergies and it look like Putin is losing. Will Xi lose as well?
