China has played an important role in this process. Also, according to the publication, Turkey became an intermediary country, despite the fact that it had previously denied data on the transfer of electronic products to Russia.

Russia was able to restore imports of chips and electronic components to the level of 2021. came to this conclusion . More than half of the deliveries, according to the publication's estimates, come from China. Exports to Russia from there increased over the past year by more than $100 million, from $74 million to $179 million. There are also intermediary countries that buy electronics from China and resell them to Russia.
Stanislav Shepelev, head of the Robotics Design Bureau at MIET, comments:
Stanislav ShepelevHead of the design bureau "Robotics" at MIET“China has grown significantly, because it is possible to import from there: there are firms there that are ready to supply and take some risk, because they threaten with sanctions. I think that partly something is imported through Iran, because it has already been noted in more dangerous transactions, then it is also completely covered by sanctions. Some are probably imported through other countries that serve as intermediaries and resold under parallel import schemes. It depends on how each specific country approaches limiting supplies to Russia. Someone does it declaratively, someone does it behind the scenes. Before that, many components were produced abroad and supplied to Russia, as well as to other countries, because they are produced in certain places: in Taiwan, in China, somewhere there are other factories that were assembled and distributed all over the world before. Now all supply chains are changing, and what used to be possible to buy from the country of origin, now, due to restrictions, you need to buy through a third country. Someone buys it for themselves, makes transactions, resells it to a country that is under sanctions. This is how it is now delivered to Russia as well.”
The Wall Street Journal also points to the growing role of Turkey, which has become Russia's main supplier of electronics and is becoming an intermediate link between China and Russia in the supply of certain types of semiconductors. At the same time, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu that Ankara does not export goods that Russia could use in the defense industry.
$179m is too low number for semiconductor import considering the automation in that country and the real wealth..
it was very special missile test that Russia has to disclose 2013. normally Russia only comment after the fact on Israeli tests not ahead of them. so you can bet they modernize things on much larger scale.
The National Game of Russia is Chess. It has been part of the curriculum for most Russian schools for over 40 years. And now, starting this Tuesday, Chess is no longer something Russia shares with Europe, but instead with Asia:
Unlike the European Chess Union (ECU) who punished Russian players and suspended the Chess Federation of Russia (CFR)'s membership, the Asian Chess Federation (ACF) has refused to condemn Russia.
The fact that the director of the ENGLISH federation is gushing salty complaints makes this text priceless. Russia was not only the strongest chess playing country in the ECU, but had the largest federation (and perhaps contributed the most revenue). Now the European scene will lose most of its value, while the Asian is set to become the best very soon.
In fact, Europe has now become weaker and less numerous as a continental federation, so they will probably have less World Championship qualifying spots.
Young players growing up will associate the sport of Chess with Asia and make friendships with their Chinese competitors. Russia's entire society is turning its back on Europe and looking to eastward for their future.

Von Der Leyen is a prime example of "failing upwards".
She does not have much choice she still need to deal with Pfizer. Azerbaijan has special relations with Israel due to historic reason.
and that is modern scientific and engineering foundation.
I mean it does not take too long to create more indirect flight connections from North to South.

China should invite Russian Ballets and Orchestras over for a grand national tour. The West wanted to kill Russian culture and identity, then let the Chinese celebrate it as both a middle finger to the West and a sign of friendship between China and Russia. This will also remind other countries there are certain benefits to courting China, unlike the West and its predatory bloc politics.
