The problem is that when your clients are suckers it’s tempting to make even more money by selling fake shovels…

“India is often in the middle of geopolitical jostling between the US, China and Russia. But as the Biden administration promotes what it calls “friend-shoring,” it is making clear that it wants India to be in America’s orbit of economic allies.”

Chinese exports to Russia of manufactured goods with potential military applications crashed after the sanctions were imposed, but have soared in recent months.
China is keeping Russia's military machine somewhat afloat.
