To Those Who Wonder About This ...

 ... and namely why China voted the way she voted (abstained from voting) on anti-Russian Resolution. 

As I wrote for years--be my guest and search this blog--China is a commercial civilization, and they love to trade. Hence their Belt and Road Initiative--a development of markets for Chinese goods. Critical in this whole idea always was and is the EU as the, highest, for now, solvency market. In this sense, China is torn between dissatisfaction from clear demolition of European solvency through effects of SMO and thus reducing the value of the main market for which BRI was conceived and, on the other hand, Chinese interests in terms of time Russia inadvertently bought for China by engaging a whole of combined West in a historic struggle. 

Now, the White House has POTUS who sees China not as a neutral commercial power but as a threat to the United States. It is clear that Trump needs to close the 404 Folder he inherited from DNC and Biden criminals and reroute America's resources towards the standoff with China, while simultaneously trying to woo Russia away from China, or vice-versa. So, China acts in this case as she always does--pragmatically and having own interests in mind first and foremost, as it should be. But let's put it into prospective here--SMO and Russia's victory over the combined West produced tectonic effects on Chinese plans which few could foresee in Beijing in 2021. It is a strain. This strain is not going to break close Russian-Chinese ties, but it surely changed the dyadic dynamics, and China now has to contend or resign herself to the fact that Russia reemerged as the premier global military superpower--a fact which many (not all, though, I stress it) in Beijing have been somewhat uncomfortable with and loved the idea of Russia being "a junior partner"--a cliche developed primarily in the West. So, China simply abstained, which, however, contrasts dramatically and historically with the US voting AGAINST anti-Russian Resolution. You gotta love this, LOL. Pop-corn time.
