Re <<Sanctions on Russia for Ukraine war could prove less effective if China offers market access>> Without Team China AND Team India, no sanction on Russia can be effective, mathematically speaking, because USA does not really buy anything from Russia, and EU must keep buying Russia or just go cold and hungry. Difficult to feed on rhetoric and keep warm by words. China has been and is under relentless 'trade' war attack, and remains on full war footing. China informed Blinken that China shall not blink, especially not to Team Blinken. China enumerated to Blinken whatever needed reminding at the Alaska powwow 12 short months ago. Let us just remember Blinken and ilk sees more of imperative to blink to Iran and Venezuela :0) Am agnostic but do wonder whether Team Blinken can do the math. 50 years on Nixon / Kissinger stratagem, and all wasted.

I pipped suspect Bloomberg by 21 min Message 33744483 bloomberg.com China Affirms Russia Ties, Accuses U.S. of Building Pacific NATO 7 March 2022, 16:18 GMT+8 A woman is helped across a destroyed bridge by Ukrainian servicemen in Irpin, Ukraine, on March 5. Photographer: Aris Messinis/AFP/Getty Images China declared ties with Russia to be “rock solid” despite President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, while repeating earlier an accusation that the U.S. is trying to build a Pacific version of NATO. “No matter how precarious and challenging the international situation may be, China and Russia will maintain a strategic focus and steadily advance our comprehensive strategic partnership and coordination,” China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Monday at his annual news briefing on the sidelines of the National People’s Congress in Beijing. Wang’s support for Moscow provides Putin with a much-needed boost, as Russia faces a barrage of U.S.-led sanctions over bloodshed in Ukraine. Wang accused the U.S. of going to great lengths to form blocs to suppress China, echoing grievances cited by Moscow before the invasion. The “real goal” of the U.S.’s Indo-Pacific strategy, Wang said, was to form a version of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the region. “The perverse actions run counter to the common aspiration of the region for peace, development, cooperation and win-win outcomes,” he added. “They are doomed to fail.” Russia launched the action in Ukraine weeks after President Xi Jinping hosted Putin in Beijing and publicly declared their friendship had “no limits.” China has sought to avoid taking a position in the conflict, as it attempts to balance support for Russian efforts to challenge U.S. dominance with its interest of being regarded as a responsible major power. “China is prepared to continue playing a constructive role to facilitate dialogue for peace and work alongside the international communications when needed to carry out necessary mediation,” Wang said, stopping short of clarifying whether Beijing would mediate between Kyiv and Moscow. Wang said that China would soon offer humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. The briefing comes as Russian forces continue their bombardment of Ukrainian cities, raising fears of mass casualties and a broader humanitarian crisis. — With assistance by Colum Murphy, Lucille Liu, Jing Li, and Philip Glamann
