I don't see China's willingness to join the peace track yet. We always wanted China — and it may be capable of — to put pressure on Russia to stop this war. China didn't do it, unfortunately. On the contrary, China increased its imports of Russian energy resources. Today, China is the largest importer, and we know where this money is going.
