    I’m guessing this is largely resulting from the exclusion from SWIFT as part of the Russian sanction regime. China likely wants as little exposure to that, especially with the apparent build up to an attempt at invading Taiwan.

      Pretty much every country that’s not a vassal state of the US now wants to divest from the dollar based economy. After the west decided to freeze Russian foreign assets without any legal basis it became clear that it’s a lawless system.

          Russia invading Ukraine is literally modelled on the precedent of NATO invading Yugoslavia. Thanks for providing us with the 🤡 perspective once again.

            Like your west-is-bad china-russia-good 🤡 perspective,
            and, as always, didn’t disappoint in not forgetting to mention the NATO. Well done comrade.
