Shipments of military-capable hardware expose a China-sized loophole in Western sanctions.

    You know, I’m surprised that China is supporting Russia rather than taking bites out of it. I honestly expected them to either start asking/demanding territory for aid, or just flat out invading.

      They hope if Russia wins the war, they can help them getting Taiwan.

      The article says china is sending gear to russia. It doesn’t say what grade is the material… I’ve seen a Ukrainian literally crush an orc’s helmet with his bare hands - the gear China is sending is not high grade material.

      They’re sending them a bunch of low-grade parts/materials with the intention that the orcs will kill themselves in a frivolous war with Ukraine. When the time is right, they will move in and scoop up more land to call their own - and a weakened Russia will have no resources to defend against that attack.

      They’re playing the long-game, like they always do.

          No sense in engaging with tankie talking points. China indeed has a long history of conquering and then culturally and ethnically assimilating everything into Han. Makes it a lot easier to rewrite history into saying you are just uniting your people. Same playbook on why the Uyghurs are experiencing genocide by China.

          mao went and enforced the ban on slavery
