Customs data reveals China is fueling Russia’s war in Ukraine
NY Post ^ | February 4, 2023 | By Jacob Geanous

China is fueling Moscow’s war in Ukraine by sending fighter-jet components, navigational systems for military helicopters, and other technology since last year’s invasion, Russian customs data shows.

The shipments, which are not weapons but have wartime uses, are reportedly among thousands of Chinese imports from both state-owned and private businesses recorded by the Russian customs office, a list that also includes telescoping antennas for military vehicles that can be used for communications jamming and parts for a radar system used to detect jets and missiles.

Customs data compiled by the Washington-based national security nonprofit C4ADS and examined by the Wall Street Journal shows that Russia has been able to continue bolstering its military arsenal by importing technology from countries that have not joined the West’s efforts to sanction Moscow.

Other countries continuing to send shipments to Russia include the United Arab Emirates and Turkey, a member of NATO, which has branded the sanctions ineffective. But the Journal report found China is the “dominant exporter” of what’s known as “dual-use” goods or materials that could be used in weapons or less lethal products.

Arrogance leads to isolation and irrelevance. Going the way of GB.

Sounds plausible. China releases the virus against the world, China supplying Russia to get Nato into the conflict directly. Baloon surveillance to see which are the first prime targets.

Hopefully, our military (at least America’s military) don’t use Chinese parts.

Of course in Canaduh, chances are that we don’t use Chinese parts. Not that we make our own, just that our military equipment is so old, the Chinese never did make such parts.

Also this torpedoes all the Warmonger know-it-alls that bragged China would invade Russia.

Why? It just shows China has an interest in prolonging the war...

I will have to say 41 western countries including the US are supplying the Ukies with weapons of war, so what if China is supplying Russia? The days of US hegemony are over, get used to it, compliments of Vegetable Head Jos.

Your question is a non-sequitur.

Mine was not.

“telescoping antennas”

The car in the garage has one of those things.

The Russians probably have ham radio equipment in their vast country.

You obviously didn't read my tagline, which I've been attacked for by FR neoconneds.

So, non-sequitur.

Communist China's one certain purpose is to weaken, collapse and replace the United States as the world's uni polar superpower, and relegate her to a position of a captive market for China.

Communist China will accomplish that BEFORE they ever alienate Russia for zero worthwhile gain.

Communist Chinese action toward Russia primarily gives Russia more and better weapons, makes Russia stronger, reduces Russian costs, and reduces time necessary for adaption.

More likely, it will shorten the war, and increase costs for those supporting Ukraine and costs for Ukraine itself.

SO what? Chine never supported no sanctions of Russia. Russian bought such thing from Europe before then tuned to China.

Russia is euroasian country. So today she expands trades with Asia to substitute Europe sanctions.

China is not communist at all. US is more of that than Chine this days.

Secondly the unipolar world showed its bad. No competition and a hegemony of one country is appalling. And after all China never takes place of US and possess a hegemony for herself.

So US will continue to be a pole in our world but not only one pole. So what China does now is good for everyone and the US population too.

Let be 2 poles in our world. Let be US and China but only US.
