Putin is now just doing whatever Xi wants CCP officials said months ago that Moscow would lose and emerge as a "minor power" from its catastrophic fiasco of an invasion. The relationship between Russia and China has become very skewed. Many raw materials, such as oil products, gas, wood, coal and metals, Russia can no longer dispose of in the West and is trying to sell them partly to China. While it is less crucial for China. But China takes advantage of it, can negotiate its own price, but also, for instance, source oil from elsewhere. This increased dependence has two dimensions, as China is now also increasingly important to Russia for imports of high-end technology, consumer goods and, for example, car parts.
