flag China restricts high-precision machine tool exports to Russia, signaling weakened economic ties despite stated alliance.

flag China has tightened export controls on high-precision machine tools to Russia, making it nearly impossible to obtain equipment with 3-4 micron accuracy without special licenses, according to Tatpromstan’s Ildar Nuriev. flag This move coincides with a broader decline in bilateral trade, with Chinese exports to Russia dropping 16.4% in August 2025 and overall trade down nearly 9% year-to-date. flag Purchases of Russian raw materials, including oil and gas, have also declined, signaling a cooling of economic ties despite public statements of a "no limits" partnership.
