James Jeffrey, a retired career U.S. diplomat, told Reuters that the days and months ahead will be vital. If Putin faces few long-term consequences for seizing Crimea, it will set a precedent for China and other regional powers who may be considering establishing 19th-century-style spheres of influence of their own. The Chinese, Jeffrey said, are in the same position. Earlier, Moscows foreign ministry said that Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, in a phone call, noted broadly coinciding points of view of Russia and China over the situation that has developed in the country and around it. newsmax/Newsfront/Russia-China-Ukraine-politics/2014/03/03/id/555783
