I think that was always the plan actually. US was starting to get worried that Europe was getting entirely too cozy with Russia and China. All the sanctions ensured that Europe was forced to abandon trade with Russia, and got pulled firmly into US orbit.

Any idea what's currency are they going to use? Guess for Russia would be nice to have a steady supply of dollars, but I doubt China would like that.

According to the news last year: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202209/1274861.shtml

China would pay Gazprom for its gas based on a 50-50 split between the ruble and yuan
