In an attempt to be able to challenge or even defeat the US and Europe, the CCP and Putin are playing the strategy of “Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao”, which is to distract the power from the rest of the world threatening them by causing greater problems in elsewhere: start with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, then fan the flames of war in the Middle East to destroy the petroleum economics and the US dollar so as to stop the economic and financial sanctions imposed by the US and Europe, then the CCP can take chance to attack Taiwan, and (new) viruses might be released.
