I don't know what kind of Relationship Xi and Putin have but I can tell you what the fundemental pressures of their Nations needs are. Getting Cut off from Western Markets and Western Aligned markets is going to expose fault Lines that where coverd by realitivly free accsess to resources and Markets abroad... It is not going to end well for the CCP as they appear to Now NEED a WAR to cover/blame shift for the coming hardships and suffering of the Chinese people...
The CCP needs a Short Victorouse war and those kinda needs tend to create diasters...
