A friend in China, in a rare conversation we had about international politics, was annoyed at US politicians for saying China was “supporting” Russia. “China has the production capacity to make easily 500,000 drones per day.[1]”, he said. “If China were supporting Russia, the war would be over”. And I had to admit I had not credited the Chinese government for keeping its insanely competitive companies from smuggling more drones into Russia.
I second the video recommendation.

This seemed like a drastic underestimate to me.
