China State Banks Restrict Financing for Russian Commodities

- Surprised China is doing this. Is this part of their strategy of not rocking the boat?
  
  You can't have a peaceful international community with Putin running around doing imperialism beside a bunch of NATO countries. lol
  I would not be surprised if China was surprised Russia advanced past Donetsk and Luhansk. Russia is way out of line here, like it or not. Thats the truth. I am against NATO and the expansion of nato. But this is seriously uncool. Take the two territories that want to join you and fuck off. Ukraine is/was not even remotely close to joining NATO.
  
  It appears that Russia would be satisfied regarding the people’s republics with a deal essentially putting in place a third Minsk agreement. Lmk if something changed while I was asleep, but I haven’t heard anything about incorporating them into the RF.
  
  Exactly, Putin recognized the LPR/DPR as independent countries. https://rubryka.com/en/2022/02/21/putin-vyznav-nezalezhnist-tak-zvanyh-dnr-i-lnr/
  
  From the sounds of it (which I won't be trusting my eyes and ears with this situation for a while cause I was way wrong about the potential for a full scale invasion), it's likely to be a regime change type of operation which is obviously different, but has a very similar outcome from an imperialism standpoint.
  
  what do you think he should have done in regards to ukraine shelling the 2 cities and sending people to sabotage shit there? and the blocking of water.
  
  Take the two territories that want to join you and fuck off.
  
  I see this as more like China forcing Russia to trade in yuan instead of the dollar as yuan-denominated lines of credit are still available.
  
  It is sort of giving everyone what they want condemn NATO countries, and give Russia a little punishment at the same.
- China bad. Oh wait...
  
  It’s either “China bad” or “See our pressure worked! This means that China is gonna collapse soon!!!”
- Where are you getting this info? I'm not seeing anything reported on CGTN, China Daily, Xinhua, GT regarding this. I tried to Baidu it and didn't find anything either.
  
  Bloomberg. I don't see them just making it up for some reason. lol

  I can see them doing it to attempt to drive a wedge between the 2 countries. Personally, I would wait for some sort of announcement or people on Chinese social media discussing this.
  
  Stories from Bloomberg Canada about imaginary sanctions would not drive a wedge between Russia and China
  
  No, but what is there to lose from trying?
  
  wow. this is interesting. china already has an alternative to swift up and running.
