John, thank you for your comprehensive response.

Find credible evidence for your claims. Otherwise, it reads as unsubstantiated conspiratorial stuff.

You say that Russia is China's greatest ally when it is not. Xi Jinping's current closeness (if that's the right word) with Putin is more opportunistic than any long-term bond. China is way more dependent on the West for its prosperity. Trade with Russia is a fraction of that with America and Europe.
