They're suss, but they might actually sensibly oppose Putin's war when not under the watchful eye of the Comrade-Chairman, since Russia's war in Ukraine is actually Not Good for Chinese interests.
How is it bad for China? Last I heard, they were getting Russian fuel for pennies on the dollar.
Sets bad precidents (China actually hates regional separatists), makes relations with Western powers rocky, has united NATO and the West at a time when China would really like everyone to fall apart so they can enforce regional hegemony, a couple of other things it's too early in the morning for me to ramble about.
Cheap fuel is good though, it's not all bad for them. But that's incentive for China to see Russia continue to suffer, not to succeed.
I see. Thank you for the explanation!
