[Preface]
As the saying goes, "those who come are guests", but some people's actions can't be treated politely!
During this period, there was a lot of uproar about the upcoming visit of US Secretary of State Blinken to China, and it was reported that Blinken's visit to China was a four-day visit and his second visit to China in less than a year.
According to the current international situation, Blinken naturally came with an unspeakable purpose, but he didn't expect them to stretch their hands so long, vainly trying to unite with the G7 to force China and Russia to break up.
For such arrogant behavior of the US side, we in China are naturally not prepared to get used to them, and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov even directly took action against the US army!
So why did the G7 follow the United States in forcing China and Russia to stop cooperating? What "surprises" will Blinken's visit to China bring us? Will Sino-Russian cooperation continue?
[The Russia-Ukraine conflict is an important step for the United States to sanction Russia]
Although the United States has never admitted that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine was instigated by them, we are very clear in our hearts, and some people point out that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is an important step for the United States to sanction Russia!
Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has joined forces with other Western countries to impose certain sanctions on Russia's economy, and has made decoupling Russia and the financial system an important foreign policy.
One of these measures is to freeze Russia's overseas assets, worth about 300 billion euros, and the United States is mainly trying to weaken Russia's ability to fund the war, and then promote the early end of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
However, what the United States did not expect was that in 2023, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalated to the stage of strategic mutual maintenance, and a confrontation situation appeared.
During that time, they carried out a year-long plan for a major counteroffensive, but no substantial progress was made......
As the conflict escalated, the United States and these Western countries gradually began to "have no heart", and they provided less and less aid to Ukraine, to an extremely low level.
But it has also caused discontent in Ukraine, and the Republican Party has frequently used this to attack the Biden administration, and it is in this context that the US government has set its sights on Russia's overseas assets.
Not only that, but the United States has also unilaterally put pressure on the United Kingdom, France, Japan and other countries to pass this bill by February 20, 2024, which clearly stipulates how Russia's frozen assets should be used.
From the above, we can already see that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is not a simple conflict between two countries, but a deliberate plan of the United States.
Russia's response to this incident was also very resolute: "If the West freezes Russian assets, then the Russian side will take corresponding measures and has prepared a list of foreign assets." ”
It is precisely because of Russia's constant resistance and intransigence that the United States does not dare to take it lightly, especially the friendship between China and Russia, which makes Biden sit on pins and needles!
[Either cut with Russia or be sanctioned, the G7 asks China to choose one of the two]
The United States wants to sanction Russia with the expansion of the "Russian-Ukrainian conflict", which is really a miscalculation, after all, for Russia they are not afraid of war!
In order to put Russia in a situation of isolation and helplessness, the United States went so far as to prevent the mainland from cooperating closely with Russia, and in doing so, they not only attacked Russia, but also began to threaten the mainland.
The Group of Seven (G7) also issued a warning about normal cooperation between the mainland and Russia: either break up with Russia or wait for sanctions!
All in all, in order to force us in China, we must choose between Western countries and Russia.
On April 19, the G7 ended the summit of foreign ministers held in Italy, and they even declared in a joint statement that Chinese companies had provided Russia with dual-use weapons and equipment parts!
And U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has also called Russia the "greatest security threat" facing Europe since the Cold War, arguing that China and Russia are working against them.
For these "trumped-up" charges, they really came out of their mouths and made them up indiscriminately!
They even went so far as to say that Blinken's visit to China was aimed at severing commercial ties between China and Russia and avoiding the problem that Sino-Russian trade would strengthen Russia's military industry, while foreign media said they were drafting draft sanctions against Chinese banks.
Both the G7 and NATO support this statement by the United States, and Blinken first expressed concern about Sino-Russian cooperation, and then expressed his true purpose.
Blinken said: China cannot develop good cooperative relations with Europe on the one hand, and have trade cooperation with Russia on the other hand, we can only choose one of the two, otherwise we can only think that China also has the biggest security threat to us, and hope that China can stop aiding Russia.
The U.S. doesn't have any solid evidence for what they're saying, but they decided to sanction China ahead of schedule.
In fact, no matter what the mainland does, we and Russia have become one in the entire Western narrative system, and in the eyes of these Western countries, they are all "threats." ”
So much so that before something happens, the United States already wants to draft a bill to sanction Chinese banks, and sooner or later the G7 will follow the pace of the United States......
[Blinken's visit to China is not good, Lavrov makes a move]
It seems that the United States has never hidden its "ambitions", and they have always believed that they are the hegemon of the world, but in recent years, they have not always gained the upper hand in the confrontation with Russia or China.
However, the United States has chosen to turn a blind eye to its own shortcomings, and even delusionally wants to threaten us to sanction Russia......
The Russian Foreign Minister saw that Blinken's visit to China was not good, so he also resolutely planned to take action, you must know that when US Treasury Secretary Yellen visited China, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov visited China at the same time.
The main purpose of the United States sending high-ranking officials to China is to prevent China and Russia from getting closer, and the Russian foreign minister's visit to China is to enhance the cooperative relationship between China and Russia.
The mainland's attitude toward the different views of the two sides is also very clear: We have the right to choose which country to cooperate with, and we also have the right to choose which country to carry out normal economic and trade cooperation with, and no country has the right to interfere with or restrict the mainland's choice.
In this regard, the United States is still not giving up, in addition to sanctions against Russia, they also drafted a bill to sanction banks on the mainland, and this time Lavrov once again stood up to help us.
Lavrov's visit to China has made clear his attitude towards Sino-Russian relations, and before that, Lavrov has already said that Sino-Russian trade is almost completely de-dollarized.
Although the United States and Western countries want to block Sino-Russian cooperation, Sino-Russian trade will not be affected in any way!
So far, it is the United States itself that kicked Russia out of the dollar settlement system, originally they thought that such a move could give Russia a fatal blow, but they did not expect that Russia will de-dollarize the road more and more smoothly, so that more and more countries have begun to imitate it.
Lavrov knew that Blinken's visit to China would definitely provoke Sino-Russian relations, so he officially announced the news of de-dollarization before Blinken's visit to China, which dealt a heavy blow to the United States to a certain extent!
On the question of "whether Sino-Russian relations will be interrupted due to threats and provocations," the mainland's attitude has been clearly manifested, and Russia's approach has already responded well to these Western countries......
[China is against the first army, China and Russia sign a new agreement]
During Yellen's previous visit to China, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also arrived in China as soon as possible for a visit, and on April 9, the Chinese and Russian foreign ministers held talks in Beijing and did a big thing.
That is, the successful signing of a new agreement - the "2024 Consultation Plan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and Russia", which means that China and Russia will further deepen their cooperation in the future, and Sino-Russian relations will also rise to a new level.
The most pleasing thing is that the signing of this agreement between China and Russia coincided with Yellen's warning to China that "China is not allowed to assist Russia, otherwise it will face serious consequences."
From the behavior of the mainland, we can see that the mainland's anti-general army has already expressed a very clear intention to the Western countries by signing a new agreement with Russia.
The Sino-Russian friendship is very deep, and there is a high degree of strategic and tacit understanding, and it will not be interrupted because of the arbitrary provocation of the outside world, and the United States might as well come to its senses as soon as possible and save wasting time and energy to meddle in Sino-Russian relations.
【Conclusion】
Although Blinken's helpers have been gathered, and he has issued such a serious warning to the mainland, the friendly relations between China and Russia cannot be interrupted by anyone.
We hope that the United States will come to its senses as soon as possible and stop doing useless work; of course, if the United States wants to develop friendly relations with the mainland, we welcome it at any time.
