US officials said that China provided more than 70% of the $900m (£723m) in machine tools – probably used to build ballistic missiles – imported in the last quarter of 2023 by Russia.
They also said that 90% of Russia’s microelectronics imports – used to produce missiles, tanks and aircraft – came from China last year.
Except “the west” (stupid term) is not falling into economic peril.
Burn Moscow and sanction China so they can do what they do best. Starve.
