You know, I'm surprised that China is supporting Russia rather than taking bites out of it. I honestly expected them to either start asking/demanding territory for aid, or just flat out invading.

The article says china is sending gear to russia. It doesn't say what grade is the material.... I've seen a Ukrainian literally crush an orc's helmet with his bare hands - the gear China is sending is not high grade material.

They're sending them a bunch of low-grade parts/materials with the intention that the orcs will kill themselves in a frivolous war with Ukraine. When the time is right, they will move in and scoop up more land to call their own - and a weakened Russia will have no resources to defend against that attack.

They're playing the long-game, like they always do.
