Um, yes, in theory.

But why the &bleep; would China want to do that?

Don't know why China would, but I do like the thought that Russia can't wage war without help.

I don't expect this to keep the Russians from messing around with tiny countries, but I like the thought anyway.

> I do like the thought

Yeah. I suspect Bloomberg only published the story because "click here to feel good". It certainly ain't real news.

just-ok
By this same rationale (dependence), Biden could end the war with one phone call, too.

I suspect that Israel has vastly more support within America's ruling classes than Russia has in China's.

But the Russia=>Ukraine war is far more in China's objective national interests than the Israel=>Palestine war is in America's objective national interests, so...

What makes you think so? The months of starvation didn't have that effect, for example. More Ukrainians died than before, but if they debated giving up I didn't read about it.
