I think it’s fair to say Russia is a vassal state of China. Plenty energy and mineral resources, agricultural products.

The war in Ukraine is a double edged sword. It wrecks the EU (a customer of China), so not smart, but helps in a play to build its own power base in the global economy outside of the EU and US.

Climate change dramatically alters the value of that equation. Global supply chains in a volatile world are systemic weakness.
