Chinese sex toy firm linked to Russian war tech in Ukraine

Original: A Chinese 'smart sex toys' company fed Russian war tech against Ukraine

EUobserver reports that a Chinese company known for making 'smart' adult toys has been supplying components or technology that ended up in Russian weapons used against Ukraine, exposing a gap in EU sanctions enforcement. The story highlights how dual-use Chinese electronics can slip through European export restrictions and reach Russia's war effort despite existing sanctions regimes.

Why now: It reveals an apparent EU sanctions blind spot allowing Chinese firms to indirectly support Russia's war in Ukraine.
