Chinese exports to #Russia of nitrocellulose -- a dual-use material that can be used to produce ammunition -- have surged since Russia began its invasion of #Ukraine.
Nitrocellulose is a highly flammable compound that is used in the production of paint, varnish and ink, as well as ammunition.
In 2022, #China exported a little over 700 tons of nitrocellulose to Russia. In 2023, the amount nearly doubled to over 1,300 tons.
