In the speech session after the military parade on Red Square, Putin suddenly mentioned China, giving China a clear signal, but this time the West and Japan were confused, because the West saw Russia's strength because of the previous display of NATO weapons, and Japan because Russia will join China to beat them together.
The annual military parade on Red Square is a very important holiday in Russia, a holiday in honor of the victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War. However, this year's military parade on Red Square is different from previous years, because the number of people in this year's parade is only 9,000 people and 70 pieces of weapons and equipment, which is much smaller than in previous years.
And before this year's Victory Day parade, Russia exhibited NATO weapons captured from Ukraine, including 32 tanks and hundreds of weapons and equipment such as the German "Leopard II tank" and the American "Abrams". This move not only demonstrates Russia's military strength, but also expresses its fearlessness against Western pressure.
At the same time, the most important thing is to display NATO weapons before the Victory Day parade, which is also to express to the West Russia's firm belief and will to defend the country. However, for Western countries, this is a bit murderous, not very harmful, and extremely insulting.
So much so that when Putin was inaugurated this year, seven countries in Europe attended. In his speech at the military parade on Red Square, Putin expressed to the Russian military and civilians that Russia will make every effort to avoid a global confrontation and at the same time will never allow any threats to its own country. This is a clear warning to NATO.
At the same time, he also mentioned China, and Putin highly praised the great courage of the Chinese military and people to resist aggression and Japanese militarism, and also criticized the West for distorting and tampering with the truth of World War II in order to build "colonialism".
Experts generally believe that when Putin mentions China on such an occasion, in addition to wanting to deepen cooperation with China, he also wants to knock Japan. China and the Soviet Union were the two main battlefields of World War II, and the two countries paid a huge price for the victory of the anti-fascist war, and the current international situation is that the United States, together with Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia and other allies, collectively encircled and suppressed China and Russia.
After being re-elected president, Putin said that the first country to visit abroad would be China, which also shows that Russia attaches great importance to its relations with China, and only together can China and Russia deal with the encirclement of the United States and the West. In addition to deepening cooperation and friendly relations between the two countries, Putin's visit to China will inevitably include discussions and cooperation on international geopolitical security.
When Putin mentions China and Japan, he is trying to knock Japan. In the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Japan actively followed the footsteps of the United States and sanctioned Russia, and Japan is also the most important ally of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, acting as the vanguard of the United States against China, and Japan's role in the Asia-Pacific region is to keep an eye on China and Russia. Of course, Japan has also lived up to the "expectations" of the United States and has constantly stirred up the situation in Northeast Asia.
Not long ago, five Japanese parliamentarians attempted to wander in the waters around the Diaoyu Islands by boat, but were driven away by our coast guard; at the same time, Japan is deeply involved in the Taiwan Strait issue and the South China Sea issue, and Japan has said on many occasions in public that Taiwan's affairs are Japan's affairs.
In addition to this, Japan has been provoking Russia in the South Kuril Islands, and it is foreseeable that Japan will likely continue to provoke China and Russia as the United States intensifies its efforts to suppress China and Russia.
In addition to knocking Japan down, Putin's words also warn Japan not to try to break the pacifist constitution and return to the old path of militarism. Of course, both Russia and China will resolutely counter Japan's provocations.
At present, although Ukraine has the assistance of the United States, it does not help much to the battlefield situation, Russia's national defense and military industrial system is recovering, and the war tolerance is far greater than that of the United States and the West, so if it continues, the United States and the West will not be able to support the probability of giving up Ukraine, of course, the West has been clamoring to send troops into Ukraine, although it is to deter Russia, but it is not ruled out that there may really be saber rattling.
Under the tense situation in the West, Russia will inevitably ensure the stability of the rear, and the United States previously wanted to deploy a military base in Mongolia, but Mongolia refused, so it is not known what the pro-American Japan will do, so it is very necessary to knock Japan. But come to think of it, under the joint warning of China and Russia, Japan did not dare to go beyond the bottom line, because Japan knew that the United States could not go to war for them.
Whether it is Putin's mention of China on the important occasion of the military parade on Red Square, or the first stop of his visit to China, it shows his determination to deepen cooperation and exchanges with China, which also gives China a "reassurance" and declares to the outside world that China-Russia relations are unbreakable.
