In my opinion having American newspapers saying that Russia ask China for some sort of military support is a desinformation attempt to make us all doubt of Russia capabilities. And to be honest is working really good. You all started writing on assumptions and suppositions!. Some times it is better to wait a few hours or a couple of days to see how things evolve.
By the way I would like to say something about how this thread is going. There is an infestation of trolls that they just post official western information that ends up on some users engaging them trying to expose obvious lies but they just end up feeding the trolls. If moderators can't moderate be smart and ignore them.
Don't read (dis) information, read data and then make conclusions. Read a map don't read Oryx Twitter account.

What is wrong with Russia asking for help to China? I don't understand all this denial attempts. If it were true, its a good thing.
If Russia is asking China for help that's good for China. It means Russia has enough trust for China to ask for something as significant as military equipment help. The more Russia trusts China, the more it will be willing to depend on China and fall greater into Chinese influence. That means China will also have greater influence not just in Russia but all of Russian satellites like Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and so on.
The more influence and dependence and connection China has with its Eurasian back, it will have more power to project on its front in the pacific coast. Russia and Central asia on its back, China will be completely unblockadable by US Naval power. China will have access to vast natural resources in the largest landmass on earth.
Russia always had a superiority complex where they always thought Chinese military tech were inferior to Russians. If they are asking help now, it means they have finally started to have respect for Chinese tech and capabilities. That's another good thing. Russia starting to use Chinese tech and sharing its own tech in return will only strengthen China.
If all this denial is because of fear of western retaliation, then China should realize by now those western sanctions would be coming sooner or later anyway. First of all, China is too big to sanction. Sanctioning China with 1.4 billion people, bigger than US and EU combined is like sanctioning yourself. US and EU will pay equally big cost for broad China sanctions. If they do peacemal sanction on certain Chinese companies, that actually better as that will drive Chinese companies further towards self-reliance. They have been too focused on profit and have not pursued self-reliance well. Only action from the west can change that. So, jolts like this is important for them to come to their senses.
Why is Tik tok fawning over backwards to serve US inteests? because tik tok is too focused on profit and not on the big picture which should be self-reliance. Its time that Chinese companies get more restrictions in the west so that they start focusing on their real market which is the Global south and Chinese internal market itself.
