Russia is fighting and will continue to fight until all objectives are met. Russia still controls regions it captured from Ukraine. Ukrainian offensive is a catastrophic failure. I also read the news. Even the West realises that Russian captured regions are gone. The only thing left is negotiations.
China is on another level. I am glad you admit this. China is also smart. It won't antagonise, but the West feels insecure as long as China grows and prospers. The question is until when does the patience run out. The United States is too insecure and we all know why they scream China 24/7. The Americans have it in them to get a war started with China. When that happens there are no winners.
