Putin got himself into an oil productoin pissing match last year with Saudi Arabia that they are still trying to recover from and Chinese goods are sitting backed up on cargo ships lined up around the world with nowhere to dock and no one to off load them. Thus the empty containers that they need to ship more of the stuff they are making, are full and still "at sea", while they continue manufacturing 24/7. So they will soon run out of room to store it. Meanwhile their whole tech sector (chips) is in limbo due to the pandemic.
I.e., the pandemic is starting to impact their "bottom lines" (they don't yet care about "the people" in that scenario because they assumed "the people" would always be there, but in these odd times, they are not).
