Leaked documents describe a previously undisclosed Russian-Chinese Forum for Military Technology, attended by senior military officials, arms manufacturers, and government agencies. Its central objective is reportedly to weaken U.S. military superiority, with participants portraying Russia and China as strategically “encircled” by the West.

One Chinese presentation proposed an “anti-Starlink alliance,” examining methods to jam, hack, slow, or even “destroy the enemy satellites in orbit.”

The investigation also found that at least 200 Russian military personnel were trained to operate Chinese drones at six locations in China before returning to the war in Ukraine. Chinese military officers have also visited the front in Ukraine as observers, allowing Beijing to study Russia’s battlefield experience for possible future use, including in a conflict over Taiwan.

Secret records further reveal an agreement to deepen cooperation on a next-generation air and missile-defense system capable of intercepting maneuvering ballistic and hypersonic missiles at altitudes of up to 40 kilometers. The project, potentially intended to become operational by 2030, would exceed the capabilities of existing Russian and Chinese systems.

The findings suggest Moscow and Beijing are increasingly treating the wars and potential conflicts in Ukraine, Europe, Taiwan, and the Pacific as interconnected fronts against a shared Western adversary, even without establishing a formal military alliance.
