Better late than never I suppose. Only three friggin weeks after the thing has happened.
Also, if you can’t be a good Chinese even after you marry Mitch McConell, I don’t know what you can do to be one.

That’s why they make such a big distinction between lethal and non-lethal ‘aid’ aka normal commercial sales.
Remember that good generals focus more on logistics rather than tactics, because while tactics can win battles, it’s logistics that win wars.
NATO is already struggling to win the logistics support competition against just Russia’s own supply chain, imagine how fucked they will be if China threw its military industrial production capabilities behind Russia.
I think there are also deeper American insecurities at play, because I think one of their key early warning indicators would be if China starts to shift its industrial production towards a war economy footing. But if China started to massively supply arms and munitions to Russia, then that will completely muddy the waters and make it impossible for them to conclude with any confidence if China is really finally gearing up for AR or just doing good arms trade with Russia.
Chinese overt military support for Russia could indeed be an early indication that AR is imminent.
I think the one of main reason China has thus far resisted overt arms sales to Russia is also because it is not yet happy to press the button on AR. If China were to supply Russia with arms, then I think there is a fair chance the US would be able to strongarm the EU into applying the same sanctions regime against China as what they did against Russia. That will effectively force China’s hand on launching AR since the west would have already gone fully economic nuclear MAD against China, so there really isn’t any additional economic costs to also launching AR.
The other main reason I suspect is because the current situation suits China just fine. America is helping to rapidly de-industrialise the EU while also piling more debt on its already astronomical debt mountain and sucking up so much money that it further undermining its own economic foundations even as its physical infrastructure literally falls apart around their ears.
If China were to open the arms floodgates, even if the EU chickens out of going full sanctions MAD against China, it’s still not ideal for China as the massive flood of Chinese arms and munitions will probably allow Russia to just steamroll Ukraine and end the war pretty quickly. It suits China better that the EU is fully de-industrialised so even if they do side with America (as they are very likely to in a Sino-US direct clash), it doesn’t count for much anymore. That will take a few years more, so it’s better for Russia to drag the Ukraine war out a bit more. Once China is ready to makes its move, it will then send arms to allow Russia to end the war quickly and decisively in their favour.
What arms would China supply Russia that would allow it to end the war quickly though?
I can only think of ISR and drones, but even then, still not likely to suddenly make the war end quickly in Russia's favor.
It was kind of expected that the spastics at NATO would dismiss and mock China's approach. Short of sanctioning Russia and sanctioning themselves, nothing else would make them "happy" as is all an excuse.
I have a nagging suspicion that the only reason butt boy went was because the Donald bought everyone in East Palestine McDonalds.
EU should think really hard over if they want to be a party to American aggression over Taiwan.
If rest of NATO not only doesn't declare opposition to US annexation but aids them in any form, they're party to the conflict.
America seems to assume China will only fight on sea where US has numbers advantage, and they have built up Japan, Guam, Tindal, possibly the Philippines as America's island chain.
Why would China not go around America's maginot line and hit Europe directly together with the Russian federation?
America has around 100k troops in Europe. Most of the European forces are demilitarised. Ukraine has a bunch of stuff owing to massive soviet stockpiles, besides that, only France and Poland have some degree of major standing military. Turkey has a force that could be on par with Ukraine, but its doubtful they will give their all to defend Northern Europe.
Non US NATO are just colonial police units that exist to lend credibility to US when America invades others and does the actual hard work. They're the soft underbelly, and China should not miss its chance to gut them.
DF series missiles and stealth drones to make sure that actually happens (even if Russians should have their own means), backed by satellite data and ISR drones.
Next, a lot of rocket artillery and strike drones.
Short of actually putting boots on the ground, there wouldn't be the 1 month rout effect like in the Korean war, but maybe 3-4 months to make Ukraine completely unlivable while their soldiers have no command left.

Firstly, just by instructing Putin that it is time to let Ukrainian leadership die.

Jan's, Ursula, and the other outstanding politician in the middle come from the same clothes of superiority. They feel that they have not only the moral right, but the divine right to feel, act, and think the way they do since after all, they're stocks are from the highest form of civilization.
Look at this German diplomat complaining in a not so racist manner about the number of Chinese people living in Namibia compared to the number of Germans. He was cut off before he can further elaborate on his poetic drivel by the leader of that African country.
The question ought to be asked is why is that even an issue for Germany or any other western countries? Since the answer to that question is obvious to even the most daft person in the world. Germans and other western European peoples are allergic to the non-garden like countries especially Africa for cultural, and lifestyle reasons. The western dudes would rather flock and spread their love a.k.a. Sexual exploits in Asia/East Asia/ASEAN countries for cultural exchange of fluids where they can proudly display their supposed phallic superiority and love for everything yellow a.k.a. Yellow fever, as compared to their African counterparts whom they would be hard pressed to compete against. Whereas, the Chinese in Africa and all over the world for that matter are all mostly about the hustle a.k.a. Entrepreneurship a.k.a. making money to support their families, grow wealth.
Kinda hard not to underestimate your intelligence when you want Putin to do a 360.
This is Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who said the following at the Munich Security Conference:
That evil bitch Führer Ursula doesn't want peace in Europe.
Orban is not enthusiastic about the future enlargement of NATO.
Orban: NATO is like the prostrate, the larger it gets the bigger the problem, and when it reaches a certain size probing becomes necessary.
