Beijing helping with drone production, space-based capabilities and ballistic missile production

US officials said that China provided more than 70% of the $900m (£723m) in machine tools – probably used to build ballistic missiles – imported in the last quarter of 2023 by Russia.

They also said that 90% of Russia’s microelectronics imports – used to produce missiles, tanks and aircraft – came from China last year.

    When the US supplies arms for countries committing genocide, it’s wrong. When China does it, it’s also wrong. There is no contradiction here so there’s no need to immediately clutch your whatabouts. Maybe we can try engaging with the issues instead.

      What issue is there to engage in? The US screams about other countries arming up in order to justify its own military industrial complex. In other words, it’s the US clutching its pearls on whatabouts in the first place.
