I really don't get why China help russians to destroy Ukraine.
Here first few consequences:

  1. Russia killed 200-300k ukrainians (mostly civil population in Mariupol and other cities they occupy. Rape girls and then kill them.) So China has 200-300k clients less.
  2. Moreover a lot of ukrainian citizen now don't buy chinas stuff, as ukrainians are defending and have less money).
  3. Russia occupied 20% territory of Ukraine that was for agriculture. Russians mined them and even destroyed dam, that made lots of this territory unsuitable for agriculture. Which leads to higher prices of food, grain, etc.
  4. China supports destroying Ukraine, which has impact on global growth and increases food prices.

And if food is high priced, less people will buy some Chinese shi*.
This is so illogical.

I don't think you understand how markets work.

If there's less of some goods they are priced higher.
If that goods are essential, demand for non-essential goods are lower, as people will have less money.

This is pretty economy basics.
I don't know why you support killing ukrainians, but you can thank your beloved russia and china for high food prices.

I'm not talking about that specifically, but the logic you present is not correct because the Ukrainian market is not very relevant in the big picture compared to that of Russia, and furthermore Ukraine has been a NATO dominated country after the Maidan coup, so China would not aim to have any kind of good relationship with them because it would be undermined by the US.

I live in the Global South, so food prices have not changed because of this, my country sells yours good, we have a nickname by your people: the world's barn.
