Youre not neutral.
China doesnt want peace either.
Youre feeding the beast.

However, the highranking diplomat referred to very serious reports from the Reuters news agency.At the end of September, the agency exclusively reported that a subsidiary of the Russian state defense company AlmazAntey called Kupol has developed and tested a new longrange combat drone in China and wants to set up mass production there to use these drones in the war against Ukraine.
This was done with the involvement of Chinese experts.Cooperation between China and the Russian FederatioChina claims to take an allegedly neutral position regarding Russias war against Ukraine.
However, Chinese companies continue to supply goods of double importance to the Russian Federation.
At the same time, the transfer of Chinese weapons to Moscow was not officially recorded.
Recently, the authorized representative of the President of Ukraine on sanctions policy, Vladyslav Vasyuk, stated that about 60 of foreign parts found in Russian weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine come from China.
The media also reported that the West has evidence that Chinese companies secretly supply weapons to the Russian Federation.
This could mean a significant escalation of Beijings involvement in the war in Ukraine.
