Comment: The Soviet Union was powerful because of all the satellite states they took over, Russia never embraced an Industrial Revolution beyond heavy manufacturing, they have never been a leader in any technology based manufacturing, what they did achieve was stolen from western countries or developed by people from the satellite states. Putin knows this, so will try and take them back by force, because without them, Russia will remain a failed oil and gas state.

U.S. Has a Big Ask for China: Buy Less Oil From Russia, More From America

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent weighs pushing the tricky trade-off along with other economic goals prior to the Trump-Xi summit

March 5, 2026

Ahead of President Trump’s visit to Beijing, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is considering putting a tricky trade-off on the agenda for coming talks with his Chinese counterpart: reducing China’s oil purchases from U.S. adversaries like Russia.

In private consultations held in recent days with former U.S. officials, business executives and policy analysts, Bessent described a continuing effort to try to get China to instead buy American oil-and-gas products, said people familiar with the meetings. Bessent is thinking about raising the energy issue, the people said, in a meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Vice Premier He Lifeng, in Paris in mid-March. They are planning to firm up a framework for the summit between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, currently slated for the beginning of April.
