Ukraine hits Chinese firms with sanctions after accusing Beijing of arming Russia

The [sanctions] list […] named Beijing Aviation And Aerospace Xianghui Technology Co. Ltd, Rui Jin Machinery Co. Ltd, and Zhongfu Shenying Carbon Fiber Xining Co. Ltd, all described as registered in China.

It did not give details of why they had been added to the sanctions list, which bans companies from doing business in Ukraine and freezes their assets there.

Ukraine exported $8 billion of goods to China in 2021, mostly raw materials and agricultural products, while it imported from China just under $11 billion, mainly in manufactured goods, according to the Ukrainian government.

Accusing people of bad faith without reason just because they disagree with you is one of the most disingenuous things you can do.

I fully agree. Just read many of the comments about the linked article. They do exactly what you portray.

The 50 cent warriors are somewhere else.

Amazing how this thread illustrates how many tankie alt accounts are here on Beehaw already.

Just read the article before you (intentionally?) misinterpret the content:

The admission of Chinese responsibility came during a secret meeting between outgoing Biden administration officials and Chinese representatives on the sidelines of a summit in Geneva in December 2024. […] The Chinese attendants referred indirectly to the activity as being a warning for the US to stay away from any attempts to support or defend Taiwan.

many of them had central planning of the economy, and most of them had highly delegated (for example village bodies which elect city bodies which elect country bodies, etc.) or sectoral (for example X, Y, and Z interest groups must obligatorily be represented in decision-making) political systems that meant workers were represented at every level of government and decision-making.

These ‘highly delegated’ systems where ‘workers were represented’ was -and, more important, still is- part of these countries’ official narratives. The reality is completely different. We saw and see this in all countries with so-called communist and socialist structures: Every ‘delegate’ who holds/expresses different views than the central Party is forced to resign as a delegate (and often faces harsh consequences, ranging from forced dissappearance, imprisonment, and even death penalty). The ‘votings’ of these delegates are highly.staged and have nothing to do with free elections.

Such systems produce the worst results of ultra-liberal capitalism where workers and the people have no say.

(I posted an article an hour or so ago here, but it got deleted without any reason provided. Which is bad, because it is a good example for what I just described.)
