My guess is that they never fully replenished their stocks from fighting in Syria. They expected this war to go very quickly and so didn’t think that would be a problem. Now that it has gone on for longer than anticipated, they realize they’re running out of some very important crap.
“US officials say...”
Stopped reading there.
Time for China to relieve Russia of their Siberian burden. Pidor Putin has weakened Russia. Now is the time for China to take back what is historically theirs.
The Chinese might help them economically or even provide weapons. I doubt they would do any more.
I can see chinese tanks rolling and telling the Russians to give up. Russia belongs to china now.
time to stop importing from china.
Are we to believe anything “US officials” say? They are liars. Their decisions are not sound. They care not about the American people.
Sanctions against China? Joe says no. They own him.
But I want my tainted dog food and poison toothpaste...
““US officials say...”

Same here. I’ll assume more Fake News until Russia or China confirms it.
Russia could lease us the territory for 99 years, similar too the Brits deal with Hong Kong. No military bases just flush our toilet of the gang bangers.
Chinese Missiles Chinese Bombs.
Chinese built Migs, and tanks, and trucks and machine guns.
China gets to real world test its soldier equipment along with Chinese observers which is critical if they want to develop an effective projecting military force.
Well these same US officials said Russia was going to invade Ukraine and was soundly mocked here.
Well, they got pretty much an “F” grade in the Himalayas.
Russia would never have invaded if we didn’t have Biden, they knew they can do anything....so I think China will feel the same way.
More of them there unnamed ‘US officials’......
Level Journalism in this world today is right there with whale sh*t at the bottom of the ocean!
I remember my Chinese history teacher in college talking about China’s ‘forgotten lands’ relinquished to Russia. Basically, everything from the Urals east is culturally claimed by China.
Yes. I think you’re right. Maybe once Putin realizes that China is his biggest enemy he will be asking Ukrainians to fight the Chinese on his side.
My bet is that this is just a part of the “China Peacemaker” narrative. China will be lauded worldwide... comrades!
China paid for the invasion and this “China Peacemaker” narrative was a part of their ROI.
Along with buying Russia for pennies on the dollar.
