in the article I linked, it literally said

"China's newly appointed defense chief and Shoigu discussed boosting military cooperation and coordination as the Russia-Ukraine war drags on. Tensions surrounding the Ukraine crisis have tested the resilience of the China-Russia partnership, with Beijing supporting the Kremlin's plans economically rather than openly amid international pressure."

I see you're trying to drive a wedge between India and Canada, dirtyid, or Chinese citizen who lives in Canada who loves China and hates western world. It really doesn't matter what you're doing you know, China is a Great Depression and will stay there for 20 years.

Also proving the point that Canada and US should not be importing more Chinese pinkies into the country

Taiwan WAS a break away state 70 years ago that is an independent country FOR THE LAST 70 years. doesn't matter which ally (US, Japan, whoever) Taiwan had, it is operating as an independent country.

If China attacks Taiwan, they are attacking another country. Just like Russia attacking Ukraine. Doesn't matter what psychobabble a dictator spouts.

Taiwan has its own MILITARY FORCE, government, rule of law, economy, alliances for 70 years now. It is de facto an independent country. Unless someone brings that tired argument of Taiwan claims China as its own - no, China threatened to invade if Taiwan relinquishes that claim. And no, just because China forces other countries to not recognize Taiwan as a country, doesn't make it so. (if anything, most countries are now starting to freely associate with Taiwan, now that China is in decline)

China is a military and economic supporter of Russia. Shipments of military-capable hardware expose a China-sized loophole in Western sanctions. https://www.politico.eu/article/china-firms-russia-body-armo.... China defies sanctions to make Russia its biggest oil supplier in 2023 https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/china-defies-sanctio...

China is the biggest importer of Iran's oil. Iran's oil exports reach 5-year high, with China as top buyer https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Markets/Commodities/Iran-s-.... Iran supports Houthi, and both with Iranian drones and Houthi missiles, are attacking US and European ships.

In Chinese threads, there are always people bringing up America. Why can't it be the same here?

Also, it's a free country (that this site is hosted on)

agreed, also, what is with all these articles written/submitted in favor of Chinese EVs in US? do they not know we are currently fighting an indirect war with China, with China supplying Russia's invasion against Europe being supplied by US? do they not know China is basically the backer for Houthi, Iran, North Korea, and Russia?

The layoff announcement mentioned that the 11% staff laid off is global. It's possible a lot of people laid off are actually in China, since Tencent owns 100% of Riot Games. There is a trend for Chinese companies to not hire workers that are over 35 years old, so some of these employees might be unemployed for a long time. Also, Chinese economy is in the crapper right now.
