Nothing, China stays out of the conflict as that would seriously hamper their business interests. And since their economy is in a bad shape right now, that wouldn't be very helpful for them and even result in unrest, something the CCP wants to avoid at all costs. On the other hand, since north korea has much to gain from a deal with Russia, we might soon see some Ch'ônma-Ho (A T-62-derived North-Korean MBT), P'okp'ung-Po (Another MBT, this one based on a mix of T62, T-72 and T-80 technologies) or Juche-Po (North Korean Self-Propelled Artillery based on the Ch'onma-Ho design) fighting on Russia's side. On the other hand, Russia might just give production licenses or weapons tech in exchange for some of the old stocks of T-62 (~1000), T-55 (~2000), PT-76 (~500), BTR-60 (~1000) or BMP-1 (~200) that North Korea still has, as North Korea would certainly enjoy being less than half a century behind in terms of military tech and equipment. |
Yup. I'd not be surprised if behind the scenes China is pissed off at how much Russia has botched this, they have to tread a fine line now of their hatred to the West and supporting Russia but not destroying their business interests with the West, every time Putin goes to China he comes back with vague as shit words about what he got from China which basically sounds like nothing.
And China wouldn't want to give Russia any of its good stuff anyway since they're still far from matching America in military power and they're trying to build their army up for a possible incursion into Taiwan in the future but such an attack would result in massive losses for China so they're going to need a massive army and China isn't going to give Russia stuff just for it to blow up in Ukraine.
