India feared China and Russia growing close after the invasion of Ukraine.
Now Chinese anxiety about the US supporting Russia, leading it to abstain.

I remember meeting Manmohan Singh in 1998. Gentle, analytically incisive, politically evasive. “What do economists in Cambridge think about the Asian financial crisis?” he inquired when I asked about high Congress politics.
