      China has always been an oportunistic power in the war in Ukraine

      it supplies dual goods to both Russia and Europe

      nearly 30% of European gunpowder imports came from China in 2023

      **there is no way Chinese companies or government doesnt know that some of that gunpowder will end up in shells killing Russian soldiers in Ukraine, it just doesnt care**

      that doesnt mean China will ever be a reliable partner for Europe, its just that it will play both sides to its interests

      I am kinda curious why they don’t push the idea of “Ukraine is historically part of Russia” more, as ig you could extend that to Taiwan/China

      I firmly believe that China is only “closer” (sometimes) to Russia so that they can take advantaged of a distracted, weakened, reliant Russia. China’s got their own “minerals deals” in mind.
