China Uses Russia Ties to Gain Ukraine War Battlefield Expertise

China is using its strategic partnership with Russia to gain firsthand battlefield experience and advanced military expertise from the conflict in Ukraine, as reported by The Economist.

The areas of focus include drone operations, submarine stealth technology, missile defense systems, and intelligence-gathering capabilities. This collaboration allows China to study modern warfare tactics and technologies without direct involvement in the conflict.

The report highlights how military cooperation between the two nations extends beyond traditional alliance frameworks, with Beijing seeking to accelerate its own defense modernization through lessons learned in Ukraine.
