The current crop of German politicians are so incompetent, all they know is how to placate the U.S. by attempting to reduce Germany-China trade, even if it will be detrimental to their own economy.

"Trickle-down economics" is always a scam, and the U.S. is an oligarchy, not a democracy.

Serbia officially applied to join EU in 2009 (long before the current conflict) most likely for economic reasons. The current Serbian president belongs to Serbia progressive party which is pro European and supports EU accession.

Ursula von der Leyen and Scholz recently told Serbian President Vucic that until Serbia recognises Kosovo's independence, Serbia will never become a member of the EU.

Vucic replied that Serbia would never recognise Kosovo.

Chinese government's official position on the current Russian invasion has been neutral all along. China is unlikely to change that since providing military equipment to Russia would risk massive US sanctions and asset seizure. I don't expect this to change even after Putin Xi meeting.



When did Chinese government supply drones to Russian arm forces or the separatist forces? Russia wouldn't be buying UAVs from Iran if China was willing to supply them.

In case, you were referring to commercial DJI drones Ukrainian purchased off the internet, that's not a transfer of arms by China. Besides DJI has suspended sales in both Russia and Ukraine since April for fear of US sanctions.

In fact, DJI is so sensitive about its drones being used in this conflict; it issued a statement disavowing military use and reemphasizing its civilian use nature when Russian embassy in China praised DJI drones on weibo.

Russian embassy in China praising DJI drones have revolutionized artillery warfare.

Neutral words don't mean neutral actions, DJI's attitude doesn't mean anything, it doesn't represent the official Chinese attitude.
Yes, I admit that the war in Ukraine is a piece of shit for China. But that shit has happened and you need to avoid that shit turning into an even worse shit i.e. "the West united can defeat evil Putin, then it can defeat dictatorial China." Depleting the West's stockpile in Ukraine is in China's interest at the moment.

As for the drones, it's not just DJI, in case you haven't seen the pictures. Eastern militia forces have been using them and getting new ones all the time and I suspect DJI has been exporting them to Russia and the latest video of the shelling no longer has the "you're flying where you shouldn't" warning on it. If China was really neutral, he could have organized these occurrences at the customs level instead of having a commercial company make a statement.

Sanctioned by the U.S？ How？ And how dare Biden kicks China out of the supply chain before the midterm elections? China is still importing a lot of Russian oil, has the US said anything about it? And note my wording, what is being offered could well be called civilian, except that Putin's private army has robbed them.

Will the UK even have money to fund or power to run its own university research programs? This is a perfect chance for China to poach UK talent and offer a better opportunity in Chinese universities instead.

The real opportunity is in the suffocating atmosphere of 'wokeness' afflicting the western and especially US academy. I am often surprised that PRC doesn't make more propaganda hay from the fact that it's hugely harder for US asians to get into top universities than it is for black kids with the same grades. This atmosphere is also affecting various areas of research, even physics, where labs are expected to hire 'people of colour' ahead of far better qualified white or asian candidates. As for genetics and especially GWAS research which might throw up racial or sex differences, good luck getting funding or approval for that these days. Remember, we're supposed to pretend biological sex doesn't exist.
