Xi in Moscow: China's role in Russia's economic survival – DW – 05/09/2025

China made a deal to buy Russian oil and gas after Europe cut supplies during the Ukraine war. As China takes a major hit from Trump's tariffs, Beijing's ties with the Kremlin increasingly intertwine.

Trumps tariffs pushed China closercto Russia.

China is the only reason Russia managed sanctions.

I also feel an uptick in China propaganda come visit so cool etc etc. China on YT.

To support the supporters of Russia absolutely not.

And TEMU bombards me aswell.

Trumps tariffs regarding China seem to work well they now also feel pressure.

China is for the moment untouched while being the life line of Russia.

Trump mist see that he can not bring Rusdia out of Chinas orbit.

They are natural allies because they are nepotist authoritarian states with the corresponding goals.

Interestingly, most of Europe urged Zelensky to reject talks with Putin until he (Putin) first agreed to the 30 day ceasefire. Trump was of the opposite opinion, and Zelensky acquiesced.

I think Zelensky understands he’s screwed without the US’ backing. He knows who his sugar-daddy is.

What is that a running joke? Just before being hit by sanctions because they won't stop they suddenly offer this. Over night.

Seems the sanctions bite them hard.

The tactic is to always throw a tiny chunk of "maybes and we'll see" to keep the thing going.

The article says it all.

Putin wants to discuss the root causes.

Lets see if he shows up at all.

Nothing ever materializes he delivers nothing so far and Trump always folds to the next trick.

I see the unwillingness to engage the drone reality a bit like the unwillingness to get rid of red pants.
