Do you think china knew what it was signing up for when she issued that joint statement with puten? Well, this is the big question out there for people watching china. What did she know and when did she know it? To coin a phrase, but i think it's hard to argue as some have that he was played,. That he had no idea that puton would actually go ahead and invade ukraine. It serves interest in the west to have this perception out there that even they were taken by surprise.
