🇨🇳 knows 🇷🇺 is losing its war against 🇺🇦, but the longer 🇨🇳 can keep 🇷🇺 going, the more 🇷🇺 will be weakened, paving the road for a massive 🇨🇳 takeover, especially in the East.
If 🇨🇳 is "lucky", 🇨🇳 will get back the large swaths of territories stolen by imperial Russia 1858-1900.
🇺🇦 victims? Xi doesn't care!
