There is no way China was not informed about this beforehand.

China might or might not have been informed when Wang Yi made the speech supporting Ukrainian sovereignty at MSC. But it's great that Wang made that clear. China can now just say its position on Ukrainian sovereignty hasn't changed without explicitly mentioning its support for Ukraine territorial integrity. India was stuck without having ever explicitly supported Ukrainian territorial integrity since the crisis began.

This message is hammered home with real, tangible economic pain. Because when the EU sanctions Russia, it hurts itself more. While Russia will have China to help cushion the pain and share the burden, America will leave Europe to pick up the tab alone with only empty platitudes and demands for more European defence spending (buying American arms of course!).
Can you explain this in more detail? How does EU sanctions on Russia hurt itself more? Doesn't Russia have a GDP smaller than Italy?

What Russia has done is similar to how Kosovo, Kurdish state in Syria,..... were created. The us armed the FSA. Anyone who knows a little about us history knows that the country was created through a land grab and genocide of the natives. The Native Americans should be given their land back and everyone goes back to Europe

I assume he means sanctions on gas imports from Russia. The price of gas has gone up just with the announcement that nordstream 2 has been frozen.
