There are some things that I will only buy through Chinese retailers, to cut out middlemen. There are somethings that I would never buy from a Chinese retailer.

Russia is still ramping up military production on a wartime economy, to be used after the Ukrainians stop fighting back. Also their production focuses on their modern options for land and air. I don't know what their naval production is doing.

Your English was on point, and any outdoorsie types understood you. This is just one of those things that is called different names in different regions.

They want the Baltics, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, all to be like Hungary, or preferably like Belarus - slave/puppet authoritarian regimes. Finland too, really, but I think that the Finns scare them.

Sinophobia and russophobia are terms that refer to ethnic racism, heavy leveraged by tankies to position political disagreement as racist. In these cases I don't think that the fear was a ethnic based, but rather capitalist or nationalist.

The fear is still unjustified. It's like thinking that you can trust Amazon more than Ali, or Google more than Xiaomi.

There is plenty of racism against Chinese/Asian people, which is a different level of vile.

Vance saying that they bombed Yemen to protect European shipping is so ridiculous. They bombed Yemen for Saud, and for Israel.

The problem is that the quality of "just look it up" is seriously degraded these days (except Wikipedia)
