You don't know much about the relationship between China and Russia.
At present. China and Russia.
On the surface, we are close partners.
However, at a deeper logical level, we are still each other's biggest strategic threat. This threat exceeds the relationship between us and the United States.
We will work together to deal with our common enemy, the United States, but we will secretly guard against each other. These guards are at a deep strategic level rather than on the surface, so it is difficult for the outside world to understand this subtle relationship.
As long as Russia is willing to buy Chinese weapon systems, China is certainly willing to sell weapon systems to Russia. However, this step is very difficult.
From Russia's perspective, buying weapon systems from China is equivalent to completely admitting failure and bowing to a former student. From now on, Russia will be in a passive position in all areas of its dealings with China. This is unacceptable to the Russian national sentiment.
