China has significantly increased its sales of machine tools, microelectronics, and other technology to Russia, which Moscow is utilizing to manufacture missiles, tanks, aircraft, and other weaponry for its ongoing war against Ukraine, according to a recent U.S. assessment.
In 2023, around 90% of Russia's microelectronics were sourced from China, enabling the production of missiles, tanks, and aircraft. Additionally, nearly 70% of Russia's machine tool imports, totaling approximately $900 million in the last quarter of 2023, originated from China.
