Didn't Xi do this already?

I dont think China likes how this has been going. Russia will emerge more dependent on China but far weaker.

"Flames of war reignited in EUROPE" is not the same as "Russia's War in Ukraine"

flames of War in Europe might allude to Ukraine but is incredibly generic and overly broad. This time, Wang Yi called out War in UKRAINE, not Europe. I think it's the first time he's really called what's happening in UKRAINE (not Europe) a War.

If you regularly watch China you get used to them going back and forth on things in a way that reveals they just don't understand or take seriously a lot of diplomatic messaging, so the hairs you're splitting here are very funny
But okay get hyped up about this
