Will the war in Ukraine end soon? Not necessarily: because you always need to follow the money. Money has been flowing into Beijing’s coffers for a good three years. China is not sitting at the negotiating table because it is not interested in bringing the war to an end because the hostilities translated into China’s exports to Russia, which greatly boosted the economy of the Middle Kingdom. The negotiating table is hosted by the Saudis or Turks because they want to play the leading roles in the world of diplomacy. China will stand behind the Russian bear like a dragon and support it as long as it can.
By the way: the West’s sanctions against Russia are schizophrenic and stupid. They are designed to harm one enemy (Russia) and make the other enemy (China) even bigger and stronger.
