The Great Game is on. China is offended they were pointed out by NATO, so their response is to project force into Belarus in coordination with Russia.
China has been apoplectic about being called out by NATO in providing war support to Russia. The support has been obvious and intuitive - who else manufactures 152mm, 122mm, 82mm, and 7.62x39 ammunition? No one.
But two can play this game - China projects force right back into Europe. Russia’s next step in Europe might be a forceful creation of a “land bridge” to Kaliningrad which would be across Polish and Lithuanian territory. This would kick off formal WWIII in Europe.
