That was a paper talking about history. That it started before Obama even. Though, as the wiki article states at a minimum it started with Obama. Also, why would Russia lose? The implied threat is your going to be facing down J20s if it gets bad enough.

At least since Obama.

Here's an EU based article saying that really it's been happening since Clinton.

Always as in before anyone currently in power was in power.
Now, China is just saying what your thinking. If EU isn't supporting USA on this, we can talk. Otherwise what do we gain from not keeping Russia afloat?
Edit btw the point of all of this is China is literally telling the EU how to stop the war. Turn on the US
No, you're not understanding what is being said here. The west has always declared China the opponent and they'll take China on when they finish their other conflicts like Russia. The EU has consistently asked China to stop Russia. China's just saying the quiet part out loud. Who in their right mind would help you after you constantly called me a threat and told me if Russia falls you're coming after me?
Edit for those down voting me, here's Kallas saying China is next, the person China is talking to in the article.
Naw, look at the dinosaurs and the ice age. Life evolves, life survives. The life forms we know of today are dead and who knows what life will look like in the future. Never forget water bears exist. Even if life needs to crawl back up from the ocean it will. The humans are definitely fucked.
That's the real problem in the end. We're really only able to survive In a fairly tight band of weather. So even small movements out of our band feels terrible to us. The unnerving truth is the planet is fine. Life on the planet is fine. It's survived much colder and much hotter. The humans on earth on the other hand...
So when the propaganda machine starts complaining about Chinese overproduction and insisting on tariffs start up again they can point to articles like this. Gotta load up the ammo for propaganda obviously.
It's OK guys, don't forget the one assassination per guest rule. It's just like Modi. That's why Putin's not invited, too many assassinations.
I'm pretty sure that's what these places are. At the end of the article it says people are mostly there for collaboration and office space, but that some people are there for fake work. Whenever I see articles about China now, I have to question the validity of them. Are there people there for fake work? Clearly, but that's not what that office is for according to the article itself. And you'd have to ask the simple question, does that happen in other nations as well? Absolutely. But for some reason, news about China, they'll only admit that at the very end. Suspicious
I'm a bit confused. Are you saying lots of Europeans are saying they stand with China besides the far right?
And was proven to work by China as that's literally what they did. But I think the fear of looking like they side with China is making them not do it. The taboo of standing with China is that taboo amongst western nations that they would sacrifice their health and wealth to not do it.
Well, sure. But none of them would be enough pressure to change the US direction. Also, China already basically used all of them.
Rare earth being the most famous one. But much like sanctions on Russia this will always be leaky.
Trade with nations on USA's hit list. Russia being the best example. But China already does trade with them. They'd have to start to break EU and UN sanctions to do more, and while upsetting USA would be nice, they don't want to create a tear with Europe.
Stopping Chinese students from going to the US. This would be a longer play, but forcing a reverse brain drain would benefit China to US detriment. However, Trump is already doing this for free.
Creating actual alliances, if this were to happen it would put USA on the back foot as they'd have many nations they would suddenly have to contend with. However, this goes against China's very ethos. China believes alliances are problematic and creates divisions in the world. This is why China has no allies. And to China's point, look at what Trump just did to his allies.
I could go on. Other options are too weak to make a dent or Trump is already giving it to China for free. It's hard to make an effective move when your opponent is throwing golden opportunities at you. To be honest, China mostly just wants everything to play out and see where the pieces lay.
I'm clear. The EU talks about wanting to stop Russia, but doesn't actually work with the partner that can stop Russia. That's as clear as it gets.
