the intelligent policy of isolating Russia has really pushed the states together. the BRICS are gaining more and more momentum due to the West's stupid policies.

Can you name a single significant economy globally that can afford to cease trading with China without losing considerable economic advantage.
Just one?
I suggest you cannot.
China has won the trade war.
What follows is arguable.
Nope you could not name a single one.
The pact was signed Before the invasion and subsequent sanctions.
IMO the Chinese now believe they can assert their will and are testing the limits.
With Russia and Iran as solid allies and many other nations including the BRICS as likely to support China it will be an interesting contest.
It cannot be ruled out that the US/West comes under Chinese hegemony.
Ukraine is but an opening gambit in what is likely to be a lengthy process.
