While China is wasting time and money playing stupid monkey games with Philippine,
Vietnam is making permanent gains.
Vietnam is making permanent gains.
The thing is Russia didn't just doing tariffs like EU did, they use ban on trucks over safety issues? This should be considered disrespectful especially when china had help a lot.
Btw, Russia hasn't ban indian one

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.
Has China publicly said anything negative about Vietnam's reclamation project in the last couple of months? I've heard that China and Vietnam have mended ties over the South China Sea so both sides have refrained from complaining about the other. In any case, I doubt that China feels threatened by what Vietnam does there so it's all just part of a new normal.
China understands international politics. Right now they're aligned with Russia, and they want Russia to survive as a strong nation. And so, they're not going to make noise about small matters like this. Moreover, if there are any bigger disagreements, they'll discuss them with Russia behind closed doors as opposed to whining to the media about it.
The difference between the EU and India is that the EU showed itself to be completely subordinate to the US and an ardent supporter of the white supremacist order. They’re willing to sacrifice themselves, literally, to serve US interests.
By contrast India only cares about itself & showed it in its interactions with the US. This makes them far more consistent in their self serving opportunism. China knows how to play this game & can exploit it to its advantage; while with the EU they’re too irrational to be useful.
I don't think that there's much that China can gain here. India is simply too self-serving to be a reliable long term partner, and they're not going to be able to offer all that much in the short term. Instead, I think that India's primary use to China is in terms of signalling the advantages of Chinese cooperation to the rest of the world. Sure, that might not mean much to Europe and the West, but it can pay dividends in places like Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa.
