China is country who keeps their “dictatorship” agendas anonymous all the time. Due to the nature of its government working China could not be trusted at every corner of the roadmap. The only thing that is putting up China and Russia relationship strong is the current opposition of EU and USA to Russia thus giving protection to China in geological sense. China needs Russian fuel, and it’s not at all in the position to create another resource or relation due to their negative attitude. China is going to stay silent, and will only open up arms when everything is favourable.
