  • The biggest direct exporters of machinery and technology to Russia are now China, Taiwan, and South Korea,” the researcher said.
  • Taiwan is one of the largest exporters of high-tech parts to Russia. In 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, Taiwan had the highest number of companies after China that directly exported parts to Russia,” Hutyk said.

    We shouldnt be protecting Lithuania or Taiwan then. Let them deal with their own defense.

      Strange that Lithuania would do that, given their history with being victims of Russian imperialism.

      Lithuania was exporting it to Taiwan, which was then exporting it to Russia. Knowing the history of how Lithuania supported Taiwan’s defense against China, it seems that they were helping Taiwan, but Taiwan was sending this aid to Russia to make money.

      If Lithuania stops supporting Taiwan, China gets an advantage, but Russia loses. If Lithuania continues to support Taiwan, it can keep its advantage over China, but Russia gets help against Ukraine. A riddle.
