Is Russian tech in these fields measurably better, or is this inertia due to reputation and maturity? Chinese contenders may be in testing or LRIP but the specifications do not suggest they are significantly worse than the Russian counterparts. If a gap truly exists, is it significant enough to justify the difference in assertiveness when it comes to foreign policy?
How many vassals does US actually have that can throw in some ~50 000 casualties for US' side, without demanding US spearhead the operation with American lives? And sustains most of its own military production without having to constantly beg for completed hardware?
China is inflicting plenty of pain (significantly more than other way around, I think most euros will readily admit) on US empire, covertly and overtly.
There's still going to be a limit on how much resources China can spend, even if it's more than what US can. Every bit of stuff China saves up from not doing unnecessary actions can be used later to push another proxy, or for direct conflict.
As for business relationships, what kind of business relationship is it to parry America's territorial ambitions in Asia by throwing Europe into the largest war it has seen since ww2? What sort of business relationship is it to coup European colonies in Africa to flip them over to China?
"Business relationship" or "safeguarding international laws and equality between nations" is just a tagline, almost every Chinese dynasty did something alike, claiming that they are not seizing hegemony for themselves but only "restoring the emperor"
Phul Sapot Modi-ji! Atmanirbhar Bharat! Akhand Bharat! Jai Hind!
Maybe not the kind of chip you use in the computer…
India has achieved a decisive victory in manipulating the algorithm:
In reality:
Ukraine is just the most obvious example currently. The biggest issue is how the US navy controls all shipping routes outside of the 1IC. There is nothing that China can reasonably do to stop shipment of hardware to Australia, for example. In the end, it's American gear being expended to kill America's enemies.
What covert and overt actions? As far as I've seen, China isn't even willing to punish Ukraine for the Motor Sichs backstab, nor their involvement in the HK riots. What was the response when high level officials called Chinese of "low intellectual potential"?
The Euros are placing second hand sanctions on Chinese companies and banks. Just recently, China banned all export of consumer drones that can be used for military purposes. Meanwhile, Russia has the balls to send Wagner to support military coups in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso to overthrow pro-West governments.
We all know the meme of Xi doing nothing and winning. But imagine how much more can be won if China threw its economic and military weight around to fuck with the West more.
