China accused NATO on Thursday of seeking security at the expense of others and told the alliance not to bring the same “chaos” to Asia, a reflection of its determination to oppose strengthening ties between NATO members and Asian nations such as Japan, South Korea and the Philippines.

The statement by a Foreign Ministry spokesperson came a day after NATO labeled China a “decisive enabler” of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

“NATO hyping up China’s responsibility on the Ukraine issue is unreasonable and has sinister motives,” spokesperson Lin Jian said at a daily briefing. He maintained that China has a fair and objective stance on the Ukraine issue.

China has broken with the United States and its European allies over the war in Ukraine, refusing to condemn Russia’s invasion or even to refer to it as an act of aggression in deference to Moscow. Its trade with Russia has grown since the invasion, at least partially offsetting the impact of Western sanctions.

    Just look up anything drone related on aliexpress and 90% of the reviews will most likely be Ukranian and Russian.

    (I think you might only be able to see the nationality in the app)

    While some of those might be fake, I think most of them are real.

      As long as you think most of the reviews for drones on AliExpress real, China is definitely selling the same dual use items of all kinds to Ukraine as it is to Russia, and I’m sure at the same price too.

      Logic.

        If you tell me a reason why some AliExpress seller should create fake reviews which appear to come from ukraine or russia specifically, let me know.

        You can never be 100% certain of anything.

        For me all the signs point to china selling to whoever is buying stuff from them, especially since its not the government or even large conglomerates, but factories and companies of all sizes and shapes that sell drones and other dual use items.

        As long as there isnt any blanket ban from the government they sell to everyone, because why would you make less profit if you could make more?

        I dont know if there are big price differences when buying wholesale depending on which country you buy from, but there definetly arent any when buying single items.

        I also think that china isnt supplying russia because it wants russia to win, but because it wants russia to be dependent on them.

          You seem to be deliberately conflating what a Chinese company is doing and what the government of China is doing.
