Washington Post: Russia seeks military equipment and aid from China, U.S. officials say
Russia has turned to China for military equipment and aid in the weeks since it began its invasion of Ukraine, U.S. officials familiar with the matter told The Washington Post.
The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject, did not describe what kind of weaponry had been requested, or whether they know how China responded.
The development comes as White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan plans to travel to Rome on Monday to meet with his Chinese counterpart, Yang Jiechi.
“We are communicating directly, privately to Beijing, that there will absolutely be consequences for large-scale sanctions, evasion efforts or support to Russia to backfill them,” Sullivan told CNN.

I'm sure we'll be seeing Russia make some moves to acquire Chinese internet firewalling technology in the near future. This is the beginning of the breakup of the global internet into isolated hemispheres. Communications will continue, as it does with China, but the citizens living under the umbrella of each world power will have their access to information blocked and curated based on what the local authorities do or don't approve of. Russia will be the next domino to fall. We're swiftly chasing them to become the third.
Hope Yang Jiechi will give shit face Jake Sullivan another lecture in Rome on Monday.
