the U.S. Bloomberg website says Russia’s war on Ukraine has led to a profound reassessment in European capitals of its individual and collective relations with China.
in the face of the need to quickly eliminate the dependence on Russian energy accumulated over decades, Govs from Rome to Prague were reassessing their economic and political relations with China.
Many European citizens (even some Gov officials behind closed doors) are questioning the wisdom/impact of US/West sanctions on Russia. Who is being impacted the most by the sanctions? Are sanctions working?
And so, the stage is set. The meteoric rise of China, the decline in the U.S.’s share of global power, the dissolution of a global order, and the possibility of joint military ties between Russia and China suggest that the shift in the global balance of power is already underway. We should not dismiss the warning signs of the return of Russia as a player that is, after all, a nuclear superpower, or certainly second to none with respect to destructive capabilities.
One thing is sure: There is a profound reassessment in European capitals of its individual and collective relations with China.

Singaporens enjoy decades of internaional praises and commercial success showered upon them mainly by the western nations and US allies.
What they have cleverly and deceitfully covering up is the fact that its success was and is coming from one factor - "Strait of Mallaca".
Fact of the matter is - Singapore is a "nothing" country without "Strait of Malacca".
A rising China and a declining USA will slowly and steadily put Singapore in its rightful place.
(Side note: Singaporeans have in the past decades, developed a sense of "white supermacy complex" to the point that majority of them resent the Chinese blood flowing in their Westernised bodies.)
