The EU likes to combine their economies to show how big of a force they are in the world but here combine all those EU countries that buy energy from Russia and they dare to point their finger at who's funding Russia's war in Ukraine? Everyone else is a drop in the bucket compared to them. It's like how EU countries reverting back to coal now. If it were China in a bind for energy and turned to more fossil fuels, that would still be unacceptable and they would expect China to sacrifice and do without. And now the US supreme court has rolled back environmental standards and I bet they will still be schooling China about the environment.Not sure if this has been posted before.
No wonder UK is so eager to get EU to ban all fossil fuel imports from Russia. Of course, it still backfire on UK with the high energy cost globally.

BEIJING/SYDNEY, July 1 (Reuters) - China's three biggest state-owned airlines announced plans on Friday to buy a total of almost 300 Airbus jets, the biggest plane order by Chinese carriers since the start of the pandemic and a major boost to the European planemaker in a key market.
Air China and China Southern Airlines said in separate stock exchange filings they would each buy 96 A320neo family jets, worth $12.2 billion at list prices. China Eastern Airlines will buy 100 airplanes of the same type, worth $12.8 billion, it said.
Major airlines typically receive substantial discounts to list prices and China Eastern said the discounts were larger than usual.
