In the Russian offensive war against Ukraine, China has developed a peace plan. In the West, and especially in the Ukraine, it is met with great skepticism. Because no matter how peaceful China is, appearances are probably deceiving.

China is said to have supplied countless weapons to Russian companies by 2022, a new report shows. This is evident from customs data available to the American newspaper Politico.

Accordingly, Chinese companies are said to have supplied more than 1,000 assault rifles, various drone parts and more than twelve tons of body armor. Among the suppliers is a company that has close ties to the government in Beijing. The materials that could be used for military purposes then reached Russia via Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, writes Politico. And between July and December.

China broke promise

According to the American newspaper, the customs data is not direct evidence that Beijing sells arms to the Kremlin on a large scale. Yet the data allows only one conclusion: China supplied Russian companies with previously unreported commercial goods that could also be used on the battlefield in Ukraine.

It is the first confirmation that China is supplying guns and body armor to Russian companies, contrary to at least one Chinese company’s announcement that it will suspend its operations in Russia and Ukraine.

Beijing continues to deny support for Russia

According to the report, it is not clear whether Russia is using the rifles listed in the frontline delivery data. A request for comment to a Russian company involved in the deliveries went unanswered. Officially, China continues to deny that it supports Russia in Ukraine. (dzc)
