But even Russia can't be trusted, long-term, to align with China against Europe. This is because most of Russia's population is European and lives near Europe. They are the eastern extension of the European peoples in Siberia and the Far East. There was a powerful West leaning movement - represented by people like Gary Kasparov and Alexei Navalny - who'd like to see nothing better than for Russia to join NATO and the EU.
Russia has handed over Ukraine to Southern Military district and put higher rank from Dagestan to Eastern Military district. This reflection of demographic change and transforming Far East to a different background. There is nothing European about it.

MOSCOW, February 20 - RIA Novosti. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu presented Colonel-General's shoulder straps to Yevgeny Nikiforov, Commander of the Western Military District, and Rustam Muradov, Commander of the Eastern Military District.


The war provided Putin with an opportunity to crack down on these people, but they're still there, waiting for Russia's defeat and an opportunity to swing the country West.
the previous crack down on these people more to do with not wasting police resources every week on them and maintain certain cleanliness. when Police become too involved managing people they lose that effectiveness against crimes and thefts.

Even if the peace offer isn't acceptable to either side (and I agree with that assessment, both side still have plenty of fight in them), coming forward with a peace plan is an useful gesture to show rest of the world that there's at least one superpower around doing serious work trying to end the war instead of pouring more oil on it.

Once Ukraine publicly rejects the peace offer China will have more leverage to do the "don't blame me, he choose violence" thing and increase aid to Russia. I still don't think you will see entire platforms in Russian hands so no chance of seeing 99A duking it out with Abram, hence why I was thinking what sort of UCAV aid can there be while still maintain plausible deniability.

According to Ayi's friends on Weibo last year there were already cases were groups of PLA vets submitted request to volunteer for Ukraine and fight as PVA, but their requests were predictably shot down.

How many T99A can China give them, if they want to do it? How many can they produce per year?

Europeans are such bootlickers, lol. Counting on Europe for anything will cost dearly, de-Americanization of important Chinese supply chains should go hand in hand with de-Europeanization. Thinking that people like Rutte will resist the US sanctions is just pure copium at that point. Inb4 "it's bloomberg", it is taken from Rutte's opinion piece for Dutch media -

The Dutch premier is really short-sighted. China's economy probably will become at least 2 times bigger than America's in his life time.

In my family we say "if the US says jump, Dutch government will pull down their pants and drop on their knees".

This is the quote from the dutch media piece

roughly translated to english:
This Dutch guy is not only short-sighted. He is also delusional. He has no idea that the US is not really a Democracy. It's actually an Oligarchy. Even if the US were a true Democracy, it would still be no match for China's Meritocracy.

Don't worry about China. They can't innovate!
