      Definitely yes. Putin belongs to Xi.

      If Xi wanted the war over, Putin would roll over immediately. There is no world where lowly Putin gets to say ‘No’ to Xi.

        China has next to no dependencies on Russia but Russia would collapse within 2 years of China just said no.

        Both Xi and Putin knew this when they had their little negotiation last year.
