Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a direct challenge to Europe's postwar order, which is articulated through multilateral organizations like the EU and NATO and is backed by US strength. It needs to be seen if these systems buckle or are re-energized by the Russian threat. It's also uncertain how China will balance its ties with the West and its Russian neighbor in the long run. China has actively prepared for a period of geopolitical turbulence by hoarding oil and commodities as a reserve buffer, while maintaining friendly relations with Russia. Beijing is in a good position to help L&MICs mitigate the conflict's negative consequences. Debt has crippled many Asian and African economies, which are reliant on Chinese inbound investment and commodities consumption.

How do you think China would respond to this crisis? your thoughts please.

Very few people are getting the actual game it seems! Russia invaded Ukraine for a reason and this reason was birthed by US who wanted to have interrupted access to Russian border. If Ukraine is invited in NATO, it will have to give this access to the NATO forces aka US. That's what US is looking for a long long time. Russia definitely didn't appreciate that!

Now through this gameplan, US also planned to increase the dollar dominance in EU nations which didn't work out. Look at the list of suffering countries - these are from EU only who are heavily dependent on Russian oil and gas. US didn't take the hit.

Understand the gameplan of US. They are just trying to maintain their supremacy over the rest of the world while Russia and China is a roadblock to achieve this.
