Was this not a given? I remember something about weird Chinese military Supply train routes in the early months of the war

[-] BrikoX@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 year ago

Sure was, but now there is US document publically stating that. The weight someone wants to give it is up to them.

[-] BROOT@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Fair enough. I’m curious how much of this equipment is more shitty outdated weaponry cloned from Russian weapons.

Like once a year we get an article about how the us military is too reliant on Chinese parts in their supply chain lol

Why did you expect China to follow Western sanctions?

[-] Sans_outside@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

And in other news millions of US arms to Ukraine keep ending up in Africa. But let's talk about China helping Russia even though we already new this was going to happen from the start.

"China is helping Russia evade Western sanctions"

Uh, even if this is true, so what? China isn't beholden to the west? The notions of supremacy are unreal with American media.

Yeah I have to stay off of here. Maoist lemmygrad tankies give me diarrhea.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I know the implication here is that "maoist lemmygrad tankies" are so gross they give you diarrhea but it really comes off as "I get stress diarrhia reading left wing content online" which isn't very flattering.

That's not my hill to die on, but what exactly about authoritarian ethno states scratching each other's back makes it "left wing"?

Except I am anarcho-syndicalist and aggressively socially left-wing. But I will never understand anyone that holds China or Russia in anything approaching high regard.
Edit: And, no. My comment didn't come across as that. You obviously just wanted to read it as such.
