This is happening in the West as well.
Take a trip to China, or Hong Kong, and report back. Even the worst behaviour in the developed West does not align with the best behaviour in China.

I think the Chinese are watching the Russians and second guessing their own military power. China's military has never been tested. Meanwhile the Europeans / West have been warring with each other since the dawn of time. It is a national sport.
China doesn't hold the same 'spiritual' significance so what the final approach to the Chinese mainland would be is anyone's guess.
Joe Biden might be the legitimate face of the Drunken Master strategy, but I'm not fooled for one second that there are still very clear, coherent and ruthlessly efficient minds working behind the scenes doing exactly what it is they are supposed to be doing in order to ensure China does not become the next biggest superpower.
With China taking over, money. If it is good for business China gets stronger. Not much money in blowing up infrastructure, better returns when taking it over.
As for the future of the Chinese people, I hope they're not the main event in the West's depopulation agenda.
A peace deal will be reached. Russia will get to keep the Russian speaking territories while Blackrock and Co will get to rebuild the rest of Ukraine, and I'm sure the estimated cost of $1trillion is only a draft estimate.
The West can't afford to be bleeding money and arms indefinitely.
