By being as bad as russia? Great choice.

Being bad or not is irrelevant. Russia can't do anything without China.

Very true, and unfortunately for Russia, China won't sacrifice their access to the North American and Eurozone consumer markets over Ukraine.

And China wants to invade Taiwan, fucks over their own people so trying to trust any of them is as bad as ruzzia invading ukraine, not to mention china is thinking about supplying lethal measures to russia in this war and it's not in ukraine's favour. So yeah, both bad as fuck.

If you look at the history of the government of Taiwan, China had been gaining favorability until recently. Their plan may have been akin to getting the government on their side to eventually annex Taiwan. Hong Kong protests changed those plans drastically.
