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.
So China gets to make money while Russia does all the dirty work, with both Russia and the West falling into economic peril.
Win-win for the Chinese.
Don’t worry, US will respond by being held hostage by Putin’s insurrectionist puppet
China also gets to ramp up war economies for Taiwan
China does have a huge Navy now

Somebodies getting rich off of that, it’s just not any of us.
Unless you own Raytheon stock.
Not quite… It it’s the same thing the West did in WWII
The USA did not get directly involved until funds from France and later the UK were complete depleted
It is not. We are supplying them with unused weapons that have expired.
Not true. We have increased production of shells in order to send them to Ukraine.

and that just pushed russia straight to the arms of the chinese
