While the US drifts along under the \u2018leadership\u2019 of an elderly man with severe cognitive decline, China has been filling the void in international relations in a rapid pace.<\/p>\n
For Washington, among the most concerning aspects of these newfound Chinese international ambitions is the support for Russians in the Ukraine war.<\/p>\n
Now, the Discord Leak papers show that CCP has secretly decided to provide weapons for Russia.<\/p>\n
The Washington Post reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cChina approved \u2018provision of lethal aid\u2019 to Russia in its war in Ukraine earlier this year and planned to disguise military equipment as civilian items, according to a U.S. intercept of Russian intelligence\u00a0<\/strong>revealed in leaked secret documents.<\/p>\n The intercept, apparently obtained through U.S. eavesdropping on Russia\u2019s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), was included in a top-secret summary, dated Feb. 23, of recent Ukraine- and Russia-related \u2018products\u2019 compiled by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n Collected from \u2018signals intelligence\u2019, the ODNI report states that \u201cChina\u2019s Central Military Commission had \u2018approved the incremental provision\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>of weapons and wanted it kept secret.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Off the records, a senior administration official told WaPo: \u201cWe have not seen evidence that China has transferred weapons or provided lethal assistance to Russia. But we remain concerned and are continuing to monitor closely.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In another, more widely circulated batch of Discord files,\u00a0a document states that the Chinese consider a major Ukrainian attack within Russia using U.S. or NATO weapons \u201cas indicative that Washington was directly responsible for escalating the conflict and possibly as further justification for China to provide Russia with lethal aid.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The Chinese Government, while denying the allegations, have also reminded the international community that the US is providing Ukraine with military aid, therefore being in no position to criticize other nations.<\/p>\n The US has been holding other countries to high standards\u00a0while refusing to be restrained by those standards itself. This is textbook double standard. pic.twitter.com\/5oXJ9NVCOn<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Spokesperson\u53d1\u8a00\u4eba\u529e\u516c\u5ba4 (@MFA_China) April 12, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n But according to trade and customs data provided by ImportGenius, a customs data aggregator, China may be already supporting the Russian war effort.<\/p>\n Politico reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cChina North Industries Group Corporation Limited, one of the country\u2019s largest state-owned defense contractors, sent the rifles in June 2022 to a\u00a0Russian company called Tekhkrim\u00a0that also does business with the Russian state and military.
