Far from its political speeches of neutrality #China has been actively engaging in supporting #Russia in the war in #Ukraine by providing drones occrp.org/en/investigati…
#China and #Russia are using the Customs Union created with some Central Asian states to funnel technologies through countries like Kazakhstan. Once in these countries, there is no need to declare the goods going to #Russia. On paper #China only supplies Kazakhstan
Chinese oil and gas companies like China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC Group), China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec Group) and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) keep their project in #Russia and pay huge tax fees politico.eu/article/ukrain…
At the #BRIforum Vladimir Putin will meet with President Xi to negotiate more contracts and partnerships. Far from an harmonious development initiative the #China BRI forum will be a testimony of support to wars theguardian.com/world/2023/oct…
