    China should be sanctioned by the EU. This should’ve happened a while back, right now we are helping russia in ukraine by trading with china.

      While I agree with your sentiment, the EU is waaaaay more dependent on the Chinese market than the US. This bears catastrophical economical risks. Also the EU would probably harms itself way more than China, so it is debatable if this would make sense at all.

      We should hit russia where it hurts, economically.

      If we “sanction” china (successfully), russia will just buy labour elsewhere while we create a recession for ourselves.

        Some chinese dudes are working in Russia.

        This is a gross trivilaization. China is a decisive supporter of Russia in its war against Ukraine and a big threat to Europe and world. Beijing is closely watching Western democracies’ reaction to Russia’s aggression as they are seeking a war with Taiwan and other neighbours. Just watch China’s increasingly aggressive behaviour against practically all its neighbours in Asia.

          China is a decisive supporter of Russia in its war against Ukraine

          Are they? As far as i know they are selling stuff to the russians, that is a bit different than being an active supporter. Yes, China is observing the conflict, but as far as i think only as a part of the whole self destruction of the west that is currently going on. Regarding the aggressive behavior i can only say that my relatives in Vietnam (some of them active in the military) are seemingly less worried about China than the current way of the US…

            They are also buying a lot of oil from Russia, China doesn’t want to risk it’s business in the west but ideologically it is aligned with Russia.

                Because there have not been reports of Indian working in factories in Russia or them being captured at the front lines. The involvement of india and everybody else (what ever that mean) is not comparable to that of China, but I’m not sure what your point is.

        There are CCP sanctioned officers working in russia near the ukraine border. China has been a part of that invasion from the get go.
