Iran and North Korea can be called true allies, unlike China, which trades dual-use products with Russia's enemies.
This was stated by orientalist expert Karine Gevorgyan on businessman Dmitry Migachev's podcast , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

" China is, in many ways, [Russia's ally], and China itself, after all, suffers quite seriously from American sanctions. On the other hand, China sells its products to both Ukraine and Europe . And these are dual-use products, and they hurt us.
North Korea doesn't do this, Iran doesn't do this. It's hard to say for sure about China. However, it is moving to minimize its such interactions ," Gevorgyan said.
