Without Russia as a distraction, China will become the focus of NATO. Xi needs to keep the meatgrinder going same as Putin does. So why don't they actually help Russia beyond buying their oil at a huge discount? They have millions of excess ricecels they could sell to Russia same as Kim sells them gooks. And Chinese life is even less valuable than Russians or Koreans.

Foreign Minister of China Wang Yi reportedly told Kaja Kallas that Beijing cannot afford a Russian loss in Ukraine because it fears the United States would then shift its whole focus to Beijing – SCMP

According to the publication's sources, Wang Yi categorically rejected accusations of financial or military support for Russia. He noted that if China were really helping Moscow, "the war would have ended long ago."

What China said was addressed not so much towards the EU as to the United States.

The West must remain united and strong.
The U.S. needs to understand that Russia is not just a threat to Ukraine and Europe — it is a common enemy.
