So, all of them. If the Ukranians thought us anything, is that anything can be used to kill Russians if you are inventive enough.

Yeah… I totally respect that China doesn’t want to support any of the sides in Russias aggression against Ukraine.

So let’s fucking do this the Russian way by using proxies when purchasing products and services from China. China doesn’t seem to have any problems with that.

Or does it all boil down to that China “unofficially” supports Russia?

I thought it was pretty clear China is an ally of Putin…

Didn’t Russia and China do a military exercise together very recently? Chineses bombers were photographed with a Russian jet escort. And it was pretty clear Russia and China wanted to be seen together.

They do deliver embargoed parts to Russia as you said and are training with Russia and not NATO countries.

China is an ally of Russia…

Won’t this be a challenge for Ukraine? I got the impression they rely on consumer drones a lot

Why else do you think China would do this?
