China's covid response was extremely damaging to China, but thanks to the US and their allies response to Russia, China has received plenty of intermediary free money to add to their economy. Cheaper energy, and arbitration returns from Russian goods to western economies for a premium. Ultimately China will find a way to cope without the products from the west. Europe however cannot cope without the cheap goods from China and the cheap energy from Russia. India is by the way the only major economy that is projected to grow over 6% next year. That's largely due to profiting off of resell of Russian goods. The problem is that people conflate their own moral standing with actual factual realities and unfortunately it will cost _us_ dearly.
