The PRC will not provide open military support to Russia in the near future. This opinion was expressed today, on April 19, on the air of the FREEDOM TV channel by political scientist, director of the Center for Research on Civil Society Problems Vitaliy Kulik.
“I very much doubt that China will take the risk of transferring certain weapons or military technologies to Russia openly in the near future. Yes, we are talking about dual-use goods. We see this in the example of technologies and objects, as well as goods that can be considered that they will be used in the military sphere. For example, drones, sheets for body armor, chips used in aircraft and rocket manufacturing, a number of technologies related to armored vehicle skins. These things are being tracked,” he said.
The political scientist noted that the US and the EU are already beginning to impose sanctions on those Chinese companies that supply dual-use goods to the aggressor country through intermediaries.
“Some companies that China works through third countries are already sanctioned by the US and the EU. They complete these transactions quickly. This applies to both non-military and those companies that are not associated with dual-use goods. For example, dry cargo ships that were used by China to deliver goods to Russia. After scrutiny by the US sanctions authorities, Chinese companies curtailed any activity of their government-linked companies that supplied goods to Vladivostok. And there are many such examples. That is, somewhere – this is a manifestation of readiness for rapprochement. And there, somewhere, it seems to be directly related to the wallet or the budget of the PRC, two steps are being taken back there, ”Vitaly Kulik believes.
Recall, as the junior researcher of the Institute of Oriental Studies. Yevgeny Gobov, Agatangel of the Crimean National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, in a sense, China benefits from a protracted, slowly creeping war against Ukraine unleashed by Russia. But now the issue of Taiwan has also come up.
