Maybe now that Russia desperate and cash strapped it would be willing to sell some of its nukes to China, maybe not the entire nuke but perhaps sell the refined plutonium to help China speed up the process of cranking out new nukes like dumplings
I doubt China needs to buy nukes, and as for actual number of nukes that China possess, I think it must have surpassed the 1k mark.
Good luck with that strategy. Russian approach or strategy in Ukraine is unknown to us and what we are doing thus far is trying to deduce the operations based on scant and accurate information. But the fact that they are already at the outskirts of Kiev in just 3 days is mighty impressive and that's with Russia "allegedly not using all the tools at it's disposal" for strategic reasons a.k.a. Phase IV operations.
Also have to keep in mine Ukraine is larger than France by land mass. They are the 2nd largest in Europe with Russia being 1st. Whereas Taiwan is slightly less then 6% the size of Ukraine and they are also surrounded by water.
What do you mean by that ? I think most Chinese people have firm political believes and would prefer Chinese platforms than western ones. Isolating Chinese from world isn’t a good solution forever. You can’t keep your Children forever at home ,fearing big bad world. If we leave out western audience , there is more than 3 billion global south users for Chinese social media to target to and influence positively regarding China issues.
The GFW works as barriers to entry in certain sectors for foreign companies. It also makes surveillance and censorship easier. CPC still does not know how to fight a PR war on the world stage. So there are political and monetary incentives to keep it.
