Reply to Putin expects China's Xi to visit in spring, wants to boost military cooperation by BeautyInTheNegitive
All this means is that Russia will sell whatever is left of its tech advantage in jet engines and missile tech to China. I don’t see any scenario in which China will provide weapons to Russia for their war with Ukraine.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Public opinion on climate change in China from two national surveys: findings suggest that Chinese people have a fairly high awareness of the existence and anthropogenic causes of climate change by Biosphere_Collapse
Even if you’re conspiracy minded, China leads the world in EVs and renewable energy. If nothing else, that’ll make the more pro-believing in climate change to further push their leads in those industries.
