The Belt and Road Forum kicked off in Beijing, China, bringing together representatives from 151 countries and 41 global organizations. Among the leaders of these countries who were happy to attend the meeting, the most high-profile was Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin's every move during his visit to China has been amplified and interpreted by the outside world, whether it is the gangway when Putin gets off the plane or the car he rides...
On the day of Russian President Putin's visit to China, CCTV was also broadcasting relevant pictures. Comparing CCTV's report on the visits of leaders of various countries to China, careful netizens found that when Putin's Russian-made Il-96 presidential plane landed, the gangway used by Putin when he got off the plane was obviously different from the gangway used by leaders of other countries.
It is clear from the picture that under normal circumstances, we prepare open-air gangways for foreign leaders, such as during the 19th Asian Games held in Hangzhou. However, when Putin's plane landed smoothly, a closed gangway was introduced. From the screen, the enclosed black gangway is almost opaque, and outside observers cannot clearly see the position of the steps of the disembarking, or even the speed of descending.
Some speculate that this could be a bulletproof gangway designed to protect Putin and his entourage. It is not clear whether this was prepared by the Chinese reception or brought by a Russian team that arrived in China early.
In addition, Putin's car in Beijing has also attracted attention. Putin did not plant the Chinese flag and his own flag like other leaders, but the presidential flag representing the power of the Russian president.
On the one hand, Putin's car did not plant the Chinese and Russian flags, but only the Russian presidential flag, which affirmed the close and friendly relations between China and Russia, and did not need those red tape to prove it.
On the other hand, it is also demonstrating to the United States and the West, indicating that he is visiting China in his capacity as the president of Russia, not as an ordinary national leader. In the case of an "arrest warrant" for the International Criminal Court in The Hague, his scope of activities is not subject to restrictions imposed by the United States and the West, which is also a manifestation of his authority and dignity as a Russian president.
As an old friend of China, and considering the sensitivity of the current situation in Russia and Ukraine, it is reasonable for China to make some special arrangements for Putin's visit.
At this Belt and Road summit, Putin also had fruitful dialogues with the leaders of many countries.
Putin also had an in-depth meeting with Indonesian President Joko Widodo, not only conducted in-depth discussions on bilateral relations, but also showed a strong intention for future cooperation.
The close exchanges between the president of Uzbekistan and Putin during the summit also revealed the depth and durability of the friendship between the two countries. In addition, Putin's official meeting with the Thai prime minister also left a deep impression on the outside world.
During the trip, Putin also had in-depth talks with representatives of Hungary, Mongolia, Vietnam and other countries. These fruitful dialogues undoubtedly further underscored the shared goal of all participating countries under the Belt and Road framework – that is, to strengthen global partnerships.
In the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States and the West have always hoped to create a false impression of "Russia being isolated" to the outside world, such as in various major international events, doing everything possible to prevent Russia from attending. However, these pressures are useless for China, which advocates a positive and cooperative attitude in international affairs.
During Putin's visit to China, China not only provided him with a high-standard reception, but also created opportunities for high-level exchanges with other countries as a cooperative partner. The starting point behind these actions is enough to highlight the deep friendship and trust between China and Russia!
