Biden is selling U.S. nuclear submarines to Australia to counter China

I could link the many stories about US intelligence saying that China might sell Russia weapons from around Feb 20th through the 23rd of this year but US intelligence also told us that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction and many people died as a result of that. I'm not naturally very trusting of government intelligence.

However, in the words of Foreign Minister Qin Gang... "“Why does the US ask China not to provide weapons to Russia while it keeps selling arms to Taiwan?” Foreign Minister Qin Gang asked during a news conference.

Qin said it was “absurd” for “senior US officials” to be interjecting in the issue of Taiwan, which he said is a “matter for the Chinese people"

That's not a smoking gun per se but it sounds pretty damn likely that they are already defending the decision to send weapons publicly which means it's very likely to have happened already or will be sometime soon.
