Twitter isn't properly posting this conversation here so click on Alexander Gabuev's name and look at his series of tweets. Lots of interesting stuff including a natural gas pipeline from Sakhalin Island to Russia and then down to China and an agreement between Russia and China for China to play "Good Cop" and Russia to play "Bad Cop" on the world stage.

#1  ... and an agreement between Russia and China for China to play "Good Cop" and Russia to play "Bad Cop" on the world stage...

That's been in effect for about the last thirty years, as near as I can tell.

Three years ago Russia invaded Ukraine and the same week the Chinese were collecting on the situation from Russia by drilling in their vassal state Vietnam's coastal waters.
