00:00What do you think China makes of all of this? Because, of course, China's a key voice, one

00:07of the most important voices in Asia, militarily speaking, and all of this is happening in

00:12its backyard.

00:13What China is up to is quite a mystery still, because in a way it doesn't want the Ukrainian

00:24war to go on forever. It welcomes it as a disruption of the, that well-known word, the

00:30hegemony of the West, and it talks peace, but at the same time is doing quite a bit

00:40of help, sanctions-busting, sending in dual-use material, which is vital for guidance systems

00:47for drones and glide bombs and the like, so much so that we understand that a special

00:52railway has been built, or rather refurbished, to connect Russian and Chinese territory,

00:59to feed the production of drones and other material, particularly going as far west or

01:06east of Moscow in the zone around Tatarstan, which is the Tatarstan bases, the one or two

01:14bases there, which are actually vital for drone production.
