If the development of international relations in the past few decades has focused on cooperation, then the next international relations will be cooperation in competition. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is still going on, but the Red Sea crisis is gradually coming, and it can be said that the United States has long been too busy to take care of itself. However, at this time, there are different voices in Sino-Russian relations. Is that Chinese enterprises afraid that US sanctions will lead to withdrawal from Russian natural gas projects? Before the United States has been dragged down, will there be new changes in the back-to-back relations between China and Russia? Will Biden's plan succeed? At the critical moment, the mainland has given Russia a reassurance.
China's withdrawal from the Russian project?
At a time when China and Russia are back-to-back, more cooperation between China and Russia will be beneficial to the development of the two countries, but the cooperation between the two countries should also be a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.
Recently, according to relevant Russian media reports, due to the recent tightening of sanctions by the United States against Russia, companies from various countries have withdrawn from Russia's natural gas projects in the Arctic Circle, and among the companies that have withdrawn, PetroChina and Sinopec are included.
At the moment when China and Russia are back-to-back, it is indeed surprising that there are accidents in the two cooperation projects, but is this really the case?
As we all know, Russia is a major exporter of oil and even natural gas in the world, occupying a pivotal role in the world, and the industrial structure of China and Russia is highly complementary, both oil and natural gas are needed by the two countries, so the cooperation between the two countries is greater than the differences.
According to relevant media, the withdrawal of Chinese companies this time was entirely due to US sanctions. I think it's possible, but that doesn't mean Chinese companies won't join in the other way.
And China is not the only one involved in this Arctic Circle project. Among them, France and Japan are involved. This time, these two countries withdrew first. Of course, as a project of China, Russia, Japan, and France, the withdrawal of the two countries naturally needs to be re-evaluated.
And we all know that at that time, Russia carried out this project and invited Japan to enter the essence of the purpose of tying Japan to Russia's energy chariot, but what was unexpected was that Japan did withdraw as soon as the United States spoke, and it can be said that Japan really lived up to expectations.
The withdrawal of Japan, as well as the withdrawal of France, naturally had an impact on the development of this project. At the same time, there are media reports that Chinese companies will also withdraw. And it is also affected by US sanctions, it can only be said that China is not Japan, and at the same time it is not France. We will only make choices based on our interests.
If this project cannot be operated due to the withdrawal of Japan and France, then our withdrawal is naturally a matter of course, after all, no one wants to invest money and energy in a loss-making project all the time.
But if this project will not be affected by the withdrawal of Japan and France, then we will continue to cooperate in an evasive way, because whether it is oil or natural gas, it is a relatively scarce energy source for us, and it is good for us.
And about this rumor, we also stood up for the first time to refute the rumor, that is, we did not withdraw, we just asked the United States for exemption, because we know that these two companies in the mainland are involved in a wide range of global business, if Biden did not wake up that day and suddenly stuck, it will have a significant impact on our energy lifeline.
So, we need to avoid it in advance, not quit. And if the U.S. doesn't exempt us, we can cooperate in other ways, after all, that's how we and Iran cooperate. Therefore, it is necessary for us to take precautions, and the so-called withdrawal can only be said that the Western media have ulterior motives.
Only then can Sino-Russian cooperation have a future
At a time when the United States is hegemonic, the cooperation between China and Russia can better cope with future international changes, and at the same time, the cooperation between China and Russia can better promote the integration of the Eurasian continent and the economic development of the two countries.
U.S. sanctions and pressure cannot change the cooperation between China and Russia, and of course we have always emphasized that China-Russia cooperation is not aimed at any third party, but just wants to make their people's lives better.
Therefore, the so-called withdrawal of China this time can only be said that the West has begun to play a war of public opinion again, trying to take advantage of Russia's time to breathe a little sigh of relief to create friction between the two countries and cause cracks in the cooperation between the two countries. It can only be said that Europe, the United States and the West do not have many skills, and there are still a lot of small tricks.
And can this stop the integration and development between China and Russia? I would say that this is more difficult. Because China and Russia have natural complementary advantages in terms of industrial structure, and China is the world's largest consumer market, can Russia ignore it? I don't think Russia itself is willing to give up, after all, who has a grudge against money?
What's more, the potential for future cooperation between China and Russia is huge, and through cooperation in trade and industrial structure, the interests of the two countries can be more deeply linked, and at the same time, the two countries can cooperate in the Middle East and even more places and fields, so it can be said that the potential for this cooperation is quite large.
In addition, now China and Russia are facing pressure from the US-European bloc, and the sudden rift between the two countries at this time will only give Europe, the United States and the West an opportunity to divide and rule. That's why we have always said that China and Russia are good partners back to back, and the two countries share common aspirations, both in the economic field and in the field of international relations.
For us, drawing Russia into our economic arms will not only make up for our energy shortages, but also help to dispel direct misunderstandings between the two countries.
We all know that Russia has always had a certain misunderstanding of us, and at the same time, Russia is also worried about it, because Russia is naturally full of fear when it sees that China is getting bigger and bigger than itself.
This requires more economic cooperation and cultural exchanges between the two countries to gradually resolve these contradictions. Through more exchanges, let Russia gradually let down its guard against us, and let Russia and the whole world see that we are not Britain, let alone the United States, and will not follow the kind of thing that will dominate and coerce neighbors when we become strong.
Therefore, whether it is at present or for a longer time to come, cooperation between China and Russia is more in line with our interests. Moreover, we must take a long-term view, and we need to distinguish the primary and secondary contradictions, so as not to affect our rhythm because of the actions of Europe, the United States and the West, which is not good for us.
So in general, at the moment of the great changes in the Sino-US game, the back-to-back partners of China and Russia are more in line with our needs.
