Ukraine Just Exposed China's Greatest Weakness - Paul Warburg
The United States has threatened to impose secondary sanctions on countries that continue to purchase Russian oil. That's interesting, but not nearly as interesting as what China's response to this move reveals. We've now seen how quickly China is willing to turn its back on its geopolitical "allies" - but that reveals a whole lot more about China than most people think. Put in the context of tariffs, sanctions, trade wars, and economics, it shows why China KNOWS a war with the west would be unviable for it.
