Who's Ukraine? how much will the down fall effect other countries, sadly they aren't important enough to have ww3 over. And what politician will want to be the one that started ww3. China is just laughing right now at the West, bunch of pussies that's just all talk no show.
Kung Fu Panda China is buying wheat from the Russian bear. I guarantee you that China is buying more natural gas from the Russians now that Germany is not certifying the Nordstream 2 gas pipeline.

China signed a 30 year agreement with Russia to receive natural gas shipments from them via pipeline.

China is basically the banker that is helping out Russia on the poker table. The sneaky Panda that is a big ally of the Russian bear.

The Chinese government is in a delicate position, because they cannot openly support Russia with military equipment. Why is that?

Western countries like the US, Australia, are monitoring the Chinese navy in terms of their aggressive movement in the South China Sea.

Western nations like the US are rethinking their supply chains with more American companies importing more manufactured goods from South East Asian countries.

More western countries are standing up economically against China now, not to mention the ongoing U.S. government tariffs against China.

China can laugh all they want at western countries now with those nations just using sanctions to condemn Russia. The Chinese economy would be under more stress if China dared to support Russia through military hardware.

China is dependent on global trade. Their economy is much more dependent on the West for access for trade markets for their manufactured goods compared to Russia.

If anything, China is facing a very awkward moment now. -quietly supporting Russia without angering Western countries with open public support of Russia.
