Bigbux,

Have the Chinese actually said that? If so, it would surprise me, they want (need, now?) to become the de facto World Bank. The Russian crisis would allow them to use reserves currently earning them nothing and allow them to drive a hard bargain into areas they want to diversify into. It might be they know that Russia has no one else to turn to now, Putin's intransigence and inability to accept the reality.. just one last hurrah.
