Isn't China best buds with Russia?

USA and NATO money for Ukraine to buy -> Chinese drones -> to buy Russian oil - to pay Russian solders.

Apparently the only ones who are winning here are the Chinese.

LMAO.

Not really. More of an "enemy of my enemy is my friend" situation.

But Ukraine isn't an enemy of China - and from the beginning China has carefully walked thin line of refusing to support Russia while also refusing to publicly acknowledge that Russia is doing anything wrong. They've repeatedly offered to be involved in peace talks... but that's not really possible as long as Russia's idea of "peace" is more like "total surrender".

There isn't much room for such considerations when you are lying in the trench.
