Chinese government media confirmed Beijing’s Ministry of Commerce had recently signed an expansive deal to invest in infrastructure in Ukraine .
President Zelensky began his tenure with hostility towards China, particularly opposing a Chinese state-affiliated corporation’s attempt to purchase Motor Sich, a strategic company that manufactures jet engines and other valuable technology used in the Ukrainian armed forces. Zelensky imposed unilateral sanctions on China over the deal this year.
The Zelensky administration’s abrupt shift in attitude towards Chinese investment follows the president’s condemnation of American counterpart Joe Biden last month for failing to impose sanctions on Russia’s Nordstream 2 fuel pipeline. When completed, the pipeline will grant Russia essentially unobstructed access to key European markets, icing out Ukrainian competition and making key American allies like Germany more dependent on Russian natural gas. Zelensky asserted the pipeline is a national security threat to Ukraine and to the United States.
Biden rejected an urgent request from Zelensky to meet in person prior to his summit with Putin . Shortly after meeting Putin, publications began to report that Biden had chosen to freeze lethal aid to Ukraine .
Shortly after reports that Biden froze aid to Zelensky, Ukraine withdrew from a statement condemning China at the UN . On Sunday, the Global Times revealed the signing of a new economic deal between Kyiv and Beijing.
Kyiv appeared to warm up to the Chinese Communist Party after Biden passed on sanctioning Nordstream 2 and declined to meet Zelensky before meeting with Putin.
Biden went forward with the meeting with Putin. Shortly after, Politico reported that Biden had chosen to freeze up to $100 million in lethal aid to Ukraine.

No 10% for You!
Biden had to be seated to protect THEM, (biden IS insane) from being discovered and identified.
President Trump had walked away smelling like a rose every time, and the last one, the Ukraine phone call fiasco was just the last effort thrown in their faces.e-election time was coming up and they were OUT of time.
COVID 19 !
Biden, like Clinton, can only be rented.
The question is:
Just how good are the Sich jet engines
China has a long history of poor quality jet engines.
However ...it depends on the quality of the materials used
China is not renowned for high quality steel products....as for titanium,,,,?

Well Son of a Bee!
China’s fixed their single crystal titanium production issues in the last decade. China *can* make high quality steel, but they mostly don’t bother for contract manufacture.
Wow! There’s a love quadrangle for ya.
Cool, Communist China now OWNS Ukraine as well as the Biden Administration.
No 10% for you Joe.
US interests are better served by forgetting about the fantasy country Ukraine and focusing on real politik with Russia.
Thanks for the info.
If you use parenthesis, you can nail ‘em all with just one F! :-)
For comparison:

These numbers are almost all confirmed by demos and customer experience on the world arms and aerospace markets. China no longer is limited to 30 hour turbine engines. They’re not as good as they could be, but they’re more than good enough for practical purposes.
What US pipeline?
Do you believe Germany and the rest of western Europe have a right to buy gas where they see fit?
You and Dementia Joe act abd talk as agents for Russia.
Your Huffington Post and NY TIMES have left you in the dark about Dementia Joe closing the Keystome pipeline.
Pathetic.
