The US is an insincere ally, always has been, always will be. Throughout history the US has always provided aid in such a way that puts their "allies" in a more subservient position, sowing seeds of future crises to take advantage of.

Federal Reserve Bank gives the US its own axis on a military spending chart to make China look worse
Look at the Y axis, note the (Left Axis) and (Right Axis) countries.
Somebody made a corrected version:
China has a dictatorship of the proletariat. The Red Army is the armed wing of the proletariat. The bourgeoisie is disarmed.
I think the USSR had local people's militias, but that made a lot of sense given the context of the invasions they faced.
Individual gun ownership is not necessarily helpful for a revolution, and exists for the historical purpose of primitive accumulation and enclosure with guns being a means to protect property of individuals. The proletariat collectively owns so the defense of the people's organized property should also be organized, in general. The disarmament as an exercise of force should be done by the terms of the proletariat.
Does Marxism seek to explain the cosmos, or just human civilization?
Newton was Christian and Einstein was Jewish, did their faiths prevent them from studying the world scientifically? No.
Is there something about Islam that sets it apart from other faiths?
Is there something about religion that prevents materialist understandings of political-economy?
I don't really be on Lemmy but what the fuck is going on over there.
My guess is the US deep state is foreseeing the collapse of Ukraine and is filling the "Russia's running out of ammo" narrative with "China is shipping weapons to Russia" narrative. They tested the waters with saying the DPRK sent weapons, and nobody questioned it, so now they are sticking it on China to bait Europe and the Quad into sanctions.
