Well, in other news we read that Chinese state oil majors have suspended purchases of seaborne Russian oil after the United States imposed sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil, Moscow’s two biggest oil companies.

Unfortunately, the Economist lost a lot of its quality and research strength in the last two decades or so which is why I stopped reading almost entirely. What is interesting, though, is that tankies slam the Economist frequently as a some sort of Western propaganda media, but have apparently no problem with it if at least the headline aligns with their desired narratives. The hypocrisy is almost hilarious :-)
