Reply to comment by green_flash in Putin expects China's Xi to visit in spring, wants to boost military cooperation by BeautyInTheNegitive
With their economy circling the toilet, and a looming covid catastrophe thats already here it wouldn't surprise me if China publicly says "piss off" but we discover Chinese weapons in the hands of russian soldiers not but 2 weeks after the visit.
Like with China building an entire naval armada in months during the beginning of the housing bubble bursting as a way to lessen the effects of looming economic problems by having x industry fire off on all cylinders.
They won't enter an alliance like say "we will physically aid you if things get serious" they might enter an alliance such as "we won't wink wink help you during this war, but we will shake hands and continue to supply you with things for future wars"

Russia is needing hardware. China will gouge them on pricing but will actually sell sone. That's the relationship.

I think if Xina wanted to sell russia weapons they would have already. They arent doing too well economically right now and its super risky for them to aid Russia in any meaningful way. Basically its not worth it to mess with the status quo.

Why would China sell weapons to Russia?
China: "Send the rest of your soldiers and weapons to the front with Ukraine."
Russia: "You're asking us to leave virtually all of our country without defense, while your army sits on our borders?"
China: No, no, our army will take your positions and defend your territory as if it were our own."
Russia: "You would do that for us, without charge?"
China: No, no. Right at the beginning, our army shouts 'Charge!'.
