Despite the official statements of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping about "boundless friendship", China seems to be using the opportunity to acquire valuable military information. Analysts point out that such actions underline the real nature of the alliance between the two dictatorships - while Moscow is at war, Beijing is stealing.

Particularly indicative is a case from 2023, when a hacker group called Sanyo used forged email addresses to obtain data on Russian nuclear submarines. The attacks have intensified since May 2022 and continue, emphasizing that while Russia is engaged in a destructive war, its "boundless partner" China is taking advantage of the situation to acquire valuable military information.
