According to the OSINTdefender monitoring channel, China is gradually expanding its influence in Russia by building relationships with officials and elites that extend beyond President Putin. The analysis states that Moscow has observed a rise in Chinese intelligence activities targeting mid-level government officials, but is refraining from public confrontation with Beijing, fearing damage to bilateral ties. The report also notes that China is concerned about the strengthening of Russia's military ties with North Korea.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, China has been quietly cultivating ties inside Russia in preparation for the post-Putin era. The Zioneer has also covered Chinese offers of military-technical assistance to Russia for testing in combat operations in Ukraine. This latest analysis from OSINTdefender underscores the complex and often contradictory nature of the Sino-Russian relationship, which combines strategic cooperation with growing mutual suspicion.
