China studies the experience of the Russian Federation in circumventing sanctions in case of war around Taiwan - media.


China continues to support the Russian economy during the war with Ukraine by purchasing its oil and supplying goods and services. At the same Time, China benefits as it sees how it can bypass Western sanctions that may be imposed against it in case of conflict around Taiwan.
Chinese officials study the impact of sanctions and regularly meet with Russian authorities who deal with countering sanctions.
These 'studies' by China are an example of economic warfare that goes beyond economic policy and becomes a geopolitical strategy. This trend will strengthen during Donald Trump's second presidential term, where he plans to use tariffs as a means of influence.
Moscow relies on oil exports and cooperation with China, as both countries want to challenge the world order established by the U.S. The Chinese use Russia as a testing ground where they can assess the effectiveness of sanctions that could be applied against them individually.
China is interested in preparing for sanctions and can learn from Russia how to diversify its reserves and develop its domestic financial system. It also understands the significance of coalitions and its own allies, giving it an advantage in relations with the West.
