Now when Russia is in this dark period of isolation, it is time for them to reflect on who really are their true friends. Only China and a handful of old friends are standing by Russia.
Some fools in Russia thought that India would be a better friend than China. Some Russian elites looked down upon Chinese governance, and Chinese culture. Some of these Russian elites had even supported some of the Western BS narratives against China like the Covid-19 Wuhan lab theory, and the Peng Shuai scandal. Some Russians in the MIC boasted about the superiority of Russian weapons used by India vs any Chinese weapons. Would they dare to be so smug right now?
Now the Russians have been declared a pariah people by large sections of the world, regardless of how rich or poor they are. Now they must learn to understand what the Chinese went through when they were labeled a 'virus people' since 2020.
During this time of isolation, no country has supported Russia the most other than China. China has spoken up and defended Russia the strongest during this period. Russia has to realize that China is not just a customer for Russian exports. China is like a family. Standing by Russia, even when Russia did things that are too difficult to defend. While India is like a friend for benefits, only giving lip service when times are hard. And Turkey is a snake, only making friends for favours, and then backstabbing when the opportunity arises.
Edited from my previous post (10 min edit window expired):
I agree with what you are saying. But I think people could interpret your words negatively, by presuming that your ultimate motive is like, figuratively speaking, a girl (China) trying to compete with another girl (India) for the fidelity and affection of a boy (Russia).
Now, that is not a very dignified and elegant personification of China, is it? Are we that desperate for winning the favor of Russia?
As a Chinese, I don't like China to be pictured as a beggar.
I think our relationship with Russia is a very simple and clean relationship of mutual national interests. In comparison, the only different between sino-russian relationship and say, russian-poland relation (or russian-finland, or russian-japan relations, etc) is that China is strong enough to not even entertain the thought of being intimidated by Russia, as long as Russia does NOT join the West in harming China.
Therefore, why would China do anything to Russia that will push Russia to the embrace of the West? Just to please the West? Just to please the West who wants to destroy and subjugate China economically (as revealed by Hilary, Trump, Nancy Pelosi, Rubio, etc.)? Are we Chinese retarded? Are we so weak and small (like Poland, Ukraine, Finland, etc.) that a boogiemen in the shape of Russia could be used by a third-rate English-language media (I'm talking about you, CNN) to intimidate the Chinese masses? I will be nice and only accuse countries like Poland, Ukraine and Finland etc for being weak and small only (meaning I will not call them stupid and shortsighted).
