Chinese state oil majors have suspended purchases of Russian seaborne oil after the US imposed sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoi.

1. It's only the two state run Chinese oil companies. There are a lot of "private" Chinese oil companies that continue buying oil from Russia.

2. Somebody should tell the Indian government they have stopped buying Russian oil.

Officially, the Indian government has no intention to stop buying oil from Russia (and that is what they continue doing currently).
