I’m afraid Europe can’t and won’t let go of their big trade partner as long as China keeps a ‘low profile’ in the war. We are supporting our side much more then China supports their side. China might lie about their support of Russia, but I think secret service agents and government officials know the extent of Chinese involvement. But it’s a good thing media is putting pressure on western governments.
So far it’s been contained by hitting supply routes between the two. The rail line in particular is vulnerable due to the terrain it runs through.
I suspect the China is quite happy to sell arms, but doesn’t want to actually enter the war.
Do you mean trade between China and Russia is being sabotaged? If so, by who? Isn’t their border like 1,000s of km long?
