Russia Ukraine war, page-127281

yes , and a shade of difference , be an alternative source and competition for russia such that China doesn't need to depend on russia , only the other way round .
Just another negative from this war for russia that the Kazakhs have managed to escsape Moscows control and russia powerless at present to do the least little thing about it .
By the time they have finished this war and their military ecovered China will likely have the Kazakhs under their protection with strong agreements in place .
And are the Kazakhs the only central asian rep. to sieze the moment ???

Ooops ! Didn't think of that .....
