What I believe is that
* China did not anticipate that Russia would launch a full invasion on Ukraine. If it had, it would have pulled Chinese citizens in Ukraine much earlier.
* This quote "and two major Chinese banks, the Bank of China and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, have even refused to help Russia process export transactions." does not prove anything. China has a Kunlun Bank that specializes in dealing with US sanctioned entities so that other banks can work with the US normally.

- itake 5y agoUS closed their embassy on Feb 14 [0] and China didn't start pulling out their citizens until the 28th [1]. I don't think anyone would of suspected a partnership leak if the USA already announced their evacuation. > China evacuated the first batch of its citizens from Ukraine on February 28, including over 400 Chinese students from Odessa and 200 from Kiev, four days after militaries from Russia and Ukraine engaged in battle.
