True. They will rather even buy weapons(like the mistral LHDs) from the West than from China. Lol.
To be honest, I kinda understand them, since it's a bitter pill to swallow, when your former junior partner/follower is now bigger and more powerful than you, and you have to start depending on them , its hard to accept. Even more so in the military domain which was one of the only sectors left where Russia still had an advantage until recently. So it will be difficult even for Russians citizens to accept this, much less the government . However I belive they will have to swallow their pride and accept reality sonner or later, China will only grow stronger and advanced even faster giving her educational and scientific output which is still to come.
