Russia is helping China close gap with US forces amid Taiwan tensions, warns longtime military leader

Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery warns that Russia may be providing China with submarine-quieting technology, which could weaken the U.S. Navy's critical advantage in undersea warfare amid heightened tensions over Taiwan. This alleged transfer of technology by Russian forces could help Beijing narrow its military gap. In response, the Chinese Embassy stated that military cooperation between China and Russia adheres to principles safeguarding international peace and urged for objective viewing.
