Russia is a sovereign country that looks out for its own interests. If it has judged that unrestricted trade harms them, it will obviously stop. As for the time of need, China also NEEDS Russia to not fall or it's screwed (very heavily outnumbered and surrounded). The Russians know that, and so does Chinese leadership. Stop imagining Russia being to China what Canada or the EU are to the US.

I'm not trying to defend Russia here. I also don't trust them for completely different reasons. But as China keeps getting stronger and more advanced, I'm noticing that some of y'all are starting to exhibit the American trait of subcontiously ignoring how international politics should work and instead treating the surrounding countries as pseudo-vassals that need to beg and compete for Chinese favor. If the Chinese populace also feels this way, it would be a very worrying trend imo.

As I said before, Russia is a sovereign country that has the right and is expected to act in the best interest of its people and the various entities they form. In the case of trucks, they are probably trying to protect Kamaz and Ural, mainly because they also manufacture stuff for the miltary.

China isn't "helping" Russia out of kinship or the kindness in their hearts, they're doing it because it also serves their own interests, whether directly or indirectly. This also doesn't, in principle, give China the right to dictate to Russia what it does with its own market. As far as I know, the relation between the two countries is defined by cooperation, not subordination. If the Chinese government, for some reason, really hates it, they can just stop trading or cooperating with Russia and then deal with the ensuing consequences.
