Demetri is a CIA-front, so consider this tweet as a CIA press release
"#NewChinaRussiaScoop – US told allies that Russia requested 5 types of military gear from China, including #SurfaceToAirMissiles. Also #drones, armored vehicles, logistics vehicles & intelligence-related equipment. US did not provide underlying intelligence in cables to allies."

It is true that Russia can be independent in all ways from the west but it isn't true that China depends on access to global markets to fuel its economy. A decoupling of China from global markets would cause hyperinflation and mass unemployment around the world while Chinese companies would quickly retool to work around domestic inputs.
China isn't short of food, land, energy or resources. China per capita food imports is $40 USD or 98% food independence by value and over 100% by calories. The only real problems are consumer tastes and China's diplomatic goals.
If pushed to the wall, China can definitely afford to be closed off with a slightly lower standard of living i.e. with only domestic + Russian oil (5.5 million bpd) it can afford a 2003 level of consumption with the difference that EVs are now available and can further reduce oil dependence.
Otherwise China has centuries of coal reserves remaining which can be further transformed into oil, as well as global strategic materials like tungsten, lithium, rare earths, etc.
Interesting that the U.S. is claiming to have intelligence into:
1. Russian top level military decision making
2. Putin's personal behavior
3. Russia's communications with China, and
4. China's internal deliberations
5. Xi being "unsettled"
If you're Russia and China, if this intelligence is true, then you have to be wondering where it's coming from. It's interesting that Russia and China aren't releasing information on internal U.S. decision making, for instance. Confidentiality and intelligence is important business that cannot be neglected. But the question remains how much of it is true and how much is propaganda.

This list, IF it resembles any truth, signals that the Russians are looking half a year down the road to secure the new borders in ex-Ukraine.
It's actually the smart move to use China's productivity. Russia's own weapons factories most likely don't have any capacity to spare and won't for a long time.

If that is their reaction against Russian missiles, imagine what their reaction will be against Chinese missiles.
Well, most likely there will be no reaction because they'll all be dead.
I haven't seen any Central / Eastern Europeans or German in the Kamikaze Legion.
Of course every friend in EE follow "if you don't have skin in a war then don't fight there", but still, there are videogames there as well : D

Well Taiwan being an island means that there won't be volunteers like this.
