Just so people are aware, this wasn’t a moral decision. This was driven by economics. The attack on Russian Oil industry and grid capacity have pushed Russian export prices up. It costs more to buy Russian energy than just use Chinese so China is opting not to continue buying. Still positive news but more indicative of success from Ukraine than China taking a moral stand.
>China’s decision to stop Russian electricity imports was driven by high export prices, which from January 2026 surpassed domestic Chinese rates for the first time, making further purchases economically unviable.

As a Canadian , America done, China new best friend is going to be a hypocritical mind field of double edged sword emotions for me for the foreseeable future.
With that said, we no longer “know” the US, but at least we know what China is.
