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.
While I don’t ever want to see WW3, I’ll get some small satisfaction after getting downvoted to hell last year for saying Russia and China were teaming up.
🙄
Its not a team up. Its one state consolidating power over the other and converting them into a vassal state. Russia had power and influence around the world. They traded all of that to be China’s pet.
It’s gonna be a team up.
Nah.
Yah.

My bits are firmly placed on an eventual military team up. It may not be acknowledged by either country, but they’ll share all the same enemies, and have many of the same goals.
Exactly. Iran and NK will join that side for WW3, whenever it may be. When the conflict is done, the world will have prosperity and cooperation for a couple decades - history repeats.
More that China is laughing all the way to the bank.
