I know we are not supposed to judge the state of Sino-Russian relations by this one project alone. But nothing screams failure like the Russians repeatedly trying to claim that Power of Siberia 2 is a thing only to meet with heavy, embarrassing silence on the other side.
So the biggest take-away from the Putin-Xi summit is that *despite* the crazy situation in the Strait of Hormuz, China is still refusing to back Power of Siberia 2. Despite Putin trying very hard before the visit to hint that a breakthrough was in the offing. Wow.
