China is widely suspected of supplying Russia with equipment and materials to support their war, however no-one has adduced anything concrete to support that theory so far.

The article itself doesn't cite much in the way of sources or evidence, other than mentioning a report by Molfar, the open source intelligence agency. Molfar has published reports on the same topic in the past, but there hasn't been anything recently.

If the Telegraph had new information or evidence they would be shouting a lot louder than this. This is most likely them covering up for a quiet day by dredging up some old rumours and repackaging them as news.

In other news, China is also widely suspected of supplying Ukraine with equipment and materials to support their war.

Turns out, China isn't a single entity but a bunch of companies that want to make a whole ton of money by profiteering off of war.

The CCP doesn't care about the conflict so long as they can claim neutrality.
