This is stated in the US Department of Defense report on China.
The Pentagon analyzed Russian customs data showing that public and private companies are selling civilian goods, dual-use goods and some minor military goods to the Russian Federation.
According to the US, we are talking about small arms, spare parts, navigation equipment and protective equipment. The Pentagon has paid special attention to drones, as the Russians are purchasing small drones and dual-use drones for the war against Ukraine.
Between March 2022 and 2023, Chinese firms sold $12 million worth of drones and spare parts to the Russian Federation. the occupiers use them for surveillance and strikes.
Recall that in August 2023, China announced that it would introduce controls over the drone market for the first time. Beijing officially claims that it takes a neutral position regarding Russia’s war against Ukraine.
