According to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying, the heads of state of China and Russia will hold a video meeting on December 15. Analysts said that the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic and the development of bilateral relations are the main topics of the video meeting, and the two sides may also inform each other of the many details of the video meeting with US President Biden. High-level meetings have always been the best way to lead the development of bilateral relations and maintain the state of bilateral relations.
According to statistics, since 2013, the heads of state of China and Russia have held more than 30 meetings in different forms, carried out all-round pragmatic cooperation between the two sides, made a scientific and reasonable top-level design, and also injected strong impetus into the development of the global peace cause. The Sino-Russian meeting is of great significance against the background of the spread of the new variant virus of "Omi Kerong" to many countries, the sudden escalation of the global epidemic prevention and control situation, and the United States' efforts to win over allies against China and Russia.
On June 28 this year, the heads of state of China and Russia held a video meeting, and after the meeting, the two countries issued a joint statement and decided to extend the validity of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation. Over the years, China and Russia have maintained a high degree of political mutual trust. In 2019, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia, the two countries judged the situation and announced that they would raise the level of bilateral relations to "China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination in the new era".
After the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the two countries have cooperated closely in the fight against the epidemic, and economic and trade activities have maintained a smooth operation. In March this year, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov visited China and met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and the two sides reached a series of cooperation agreements. Previously, Putin repeatedly commented on Sino-Russian relations, saying that the current relations between the two sides are at the highest level in history. Sino-Russian relations can be called a model for the world's major powers to get along and cooperate, and have played a great role in coping with the unilateralism of the United States and promoting global peace.
Then look to the United States. According to the Global Network reported on the 13th, on December 12, local time, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a prediction about the results of the 2024 US presidential election in an exclusive interview with NBC. Hillary Clinton declared that if Trump participates in the 2024 U.S. presidential election and wins, American democracy will come to an end.
Hillary Clinton ran in the US presidential election in 2016, but she was eventually reversed by Trump in the case of poll data all the way, and failed to become the first female president in US history, which has also made her angry. Since then, Hillary clinton has publicly accused Trump on several occasions, accusing Trump of having an unknown deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin and claiming that Putin interfered in the US presidential election.
During last year's US presidential election, Hillary Clinton actively created a platform for democratic candidate Biden, and finally Biden defeated Trump as he wished and became the new US president. After the presidential election, on the eve of Biden's inauguration, the Capitol Hill riots broke out in the United States. Democrats believe trump is behind the incident and impeach him.
In fact, whoever is elected president of the United States in 2024 is unlikely to reverse the regression of American democracy. The Democratic Party, which has always advocated a great deal of democracy, is also full of lies. Three days ago, Biden organized a so-called "global democracy summit" and declared that it would take measures against countries that are "democratically regressive" such as China and Russia.
However, while pointing fingers at the democracy of other countries, the crisis of democracy in the United States itself has intensified. Racial discrimination cannot be effectively resolved, shooting violence cases occur frequently, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, and politics is reduced to a tool of money, etc., and the maintenance of global democracy has become a cover for the Democratic Party to cover up the regression of American democracy.
If the United States itself does not make changes, whether it is Trump's election as PRESIDENT or others, the democratic problems in the United States will only become more and more serious. Not only is the United States a serious problem of democracy, but its hegemonic system should also be changed.
According to the British media Reuters reported on the 13th, on December 12, local time, the United States, Japan and Australia announced that they would jointly fund the construction of submarine optical cables for the three Pacific island countries nauru, Kiribati and the Federated States of Micronesia. Australian media claimed that the move was aimed at countering China's growing influence in the region.
It is reported that the original project may be undertaken by Chinese enterprises. In June this year, Chinese companies participated in the bidding for the project with the French company Alcatel Submarine Network and Japan Electric Company, and the chinese company gave a very attractive offer, but the final bid was unsuccessful. The main reason why Chinese companies failed to get the project is that the United States is behind the turmoil.
In recent years, the economic and trade cooperation between China and Pacific island countries has become closer and closer, and Chinese-funded enterprises have made a large number of infrastructure investments in the local area, which has driven the local economic development and labor employment, which has been welcomed by the local people. The great powers around the Pacific island countries are not happy about this.
In particular, Australia, he used various means to smear the legitimate investment activities of Chinese-funded enterprises, called the investment of Chinese-funded enterprises "economic coercion", and joined forces with the United States and other countries to continuously put pressure on relevant countries. With the intensification of Sino-US confrontation, the overseas operations of Chinese-funded enterprises will be fraught with various risks in the future.
