China won't come to Putin's aid even after saying that they were inseparable partners, the truth is that China has it's own economic problems starting with Evergrand at home and its Belt and Road project abroad. Its Belt and Road project is its hoped-for replacement of the once-vaunted silk road, but it's also mired in problems because it deals with lending to sovereign governments some of which throw them out rather than capitulate when they default on the loans. Thus Xi needs to hold onto as much of the worlds good will as possible.
Putin now requesting food from China only adds to the suspicion of just how poorly this military invasion was planned, if food for the troops was even a possible need, the request should have been made before the invasion not after. Now Putin has troops in Ukraine and no food for them, his logistics are terrible, once Ukrainian experts have the wherewithal they are sure to exploit this weakness to the max causing massive defections.
