China's exports of transportation equipment to Russia - that's everything from railway cars to autos and trucks as well as aircraft and ships - have risen +800% since Russia invaded Ukraine. There is no bigger supplier to Russia's war economy than China...

🧵Interesting to see how Vietnam is dancing between the giants. Vietnam and Japan just elevated their ties from an "extensive strategic partnership" (announced in 2014) to a "comprehensive strategic partnership" at a visit of President Vo Van Thuong to Japan. /1

Every year, relatives of the #MH17 victims line up 298 empty chairs in front of the Russian embassy in The Hague. Notwithstanding the @CourtMH17 verdict, Russia still refuses to acknowledge its involvement in downing flight MH17. #Russia will not escape international justice.

While U.S. policymakers face opposition at home to increased market access demanded by Latin American governments, the same isn't true for China. China's trade with Latin America surged from $12 billion in 2000 to $495 billion in 2022, a 41-fold increase. chinaglobalsouth.com/2023/05…

My message at #TheSydneyDialogue by @ASPI_org: Russian aggression is a reminder that we actively need to enforce a world where rules still apply. Tech is part of this struggle. We must ensure impunity does not prevail in any sphere – cyberspace included.
