Until this situation, I would have been with you, but I think China might have realized that if they play their cards right there’s a world where they just control Russia some day. If things get especially rough, I think China might play neutral.
That might be what they end up doing but it’s hiding what they really wanna do. They want Taiwan and all SE Asia in the short term and much more in the long so if they play nice w Europe it’s still a show

Picking a side might benefit them but China doesn’t have to do anything here to come out on top.
