We already know that Xi meeting with Putin is huge. But hey, the Chinese delegates eating KFC is much much much more important!!! Just like Xi's two teacups' power projection!!!
Think of it as CIA and NATO pulling all nighters and brainstorming strategy whilst eating Chinese takeaway.
yep, this is up there with saudis agreeing to become part of the petrodollar system back in the late 70s, only this time it’s Russian oil and gas for Chinese yuan.
What I used was part of European (continental) cultural legacy and the way you approach it suggests that your understanding of it comes from American understanding of it (not implying your nationality, just where you acquire knowledge) which is derived from English understanding of it.

In American parlance "vassal" is a derogatory term. I used it as a technical term describing something very important about the new relationship between China and Russia.
The more neutral term in English would be “client”, as in “Japan and South Korea are client states of the US”. Functionally though, germany is a vassal whilst Japan and South Korea are slaves because the Five Eyes prioritise race.
as Xi said to the blackface connoisseur, Trudeau, “ create the right conditions first”.
