China is helping Russia ramp up its defense industrial base at such a large scale that Moscow is now undertaking its most ambitious expansion in military manufacturing since the Soviet era as it continues its war against Ukraine, according to senior Biden administration officials.

The support China is providing includes significant quantities of machine tools, drone and turbojet engines and technology for cruise missiles, microelectronics, and nitrocellulose, which Russia uses to make propellant for weapons, said the officials.

Chinese and Russian entitles have also been working jointly to produce drones inside of Russia, one of the officials said.

    Wrong:

    According to Xi, “the consolidation and development of the socialist system will require its own long period of history… it will require the tireless struggle of generations, up to ten generations.”

      No, a convenient excuse. There’s no evidence of such and belief doesn’t cut it

          The people today kinda live in a temporary fascism with the promise that some day some future generation might live in a garden of Eden

            Think about it. If 1.4 billion people were starving and unhappy, don’t you think there would be wall to wall coverage on the evening news? China has problems like any other country, but they managed to lift their people out of poverty and industrialize. Hate them all you want, it doesn’t make a difference to them.

                How do you know it’s hypocritical if you don’t know what the ten affirmations are, what the 14 commitments are, and what the 13 achievements are? You know nothing of Xi Jinping Thought other than what you’ve heard from capitalist driven media.
