"We have had reports from intelligence sources on the existence of a factory inside China producing drones which are shipped to Russia," a senior EU official told Politico on Nov. 15.

Summary

The EU suspects Russia is producing lethal drones in China’s Xinjiang province, raising concerns over Beijing’s support for Moscow under their “no-limits partnership.”

A Reuters investigation revealed that a Russian arms company, Almaz-Antey, developed and tested drones with Chinese specialists, and intelligence suggests a factory in China is assembling attack drones for potential use in Ukraine.

The EU has yet to confirm key details, and Beijing denies involvement.

If proven, this could escalate the war and trigger sanctions. EU ministers will discuss the issue in Brussels on Monday.

      “We don’t have more than that. We don’t have clear evidence of what’s going on,” said a high-ranking EU official, speaking on Friday on condition of anonymity.

      But if we say it loudly and often, spreading it through friendly news outlets and social media it will magically become true.
