If this is legit, there have to be real consequences for China.
I’ll hold my breath until it happens
I mean even before the war, my business has intentionally started moving away from any manufactured parts or materials made from that part of the world for a variety of reasons (cost, quality control, and ongoing tensions).
I personally avoid any products made in that country as best as possible, and it feels good knowing that China is no longer the largest trade partner with America. I know it's impossible to entirely avoid Chinese made components currently, but I feel like things are moving in the right direction.
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.
"He is our customer's customer. We cannot ask him directly, 'Where are you from?' But I guess maybe he is from Europe — maybe Ukraine, maybe Poland, even maybe from Russia. I'm not sure.”
Did they just accidentally imply that these are being shipped to Russia through a shell company?
