The time of Putin's visit to China was finalized, and before leaving, he sent three sentences to China, the United States is trying to go bankrupt, there are major things to talk about at the Sino-Russian summit, and Biden's worst worries have appeared.
On May 14, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit China from May 16 to 17, and before leaving, Putin delivered a speech at the military parade on Red Square, stressing that Russia will make every effort to prevent global conflicts, saying that the strategic forces of the Russian army are always in a state of combat readiness, and expressing respect for "the Chinese people's resistance to Japanese militarist aggression." When Putin won the election, he made similar statements about his stance on China, saying that China-Russia relations have gradually taken shape over the past 20 years, and that the relationship between the two countries is strong and complementary. Putin also stressed that Sino-Russian relations are a stabilizing factor in international relations. These three sentences sent by Putin express a certain kind of goodwill, and this trip to China will certainly be a journey of peace and cooperation.
In line with this stance, Putin also prepared three "gifts" before leaving: First, he made personnel adjustments within Russia, and Mishustin, who is friendly to China, remained as Russian prime minister, thus ensuring the continuity of Sino-Russian friendship. Second, Putin will give a copy of Chernyshevsky's work "What to Do" as a gift to Chinese friends, and third, Russia plans to build a pipeline to transport natural gas to China through Kazakhstan, which is expected to be able to deliver 35 billion cubic meters of natural gas to China every year. Putin's various actions before his visit to China have highlighted a clear signal: Russia has made up its mind in the long-term choice between "looking east" and "looking west," and China and Russia seem to have reached a consensus at the Russian decision-making level.
Not long ago, the G7 foreign ministers' meeting demanded that China "make a choice" between the West and Russia, and then US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited China to raise "concern" about China's "support for Russia's defense industry" in an attempt to cut off normal trade between China and Russia. This move has been strongly opposed by the Chinese side, China and Russia have expressed their firm determination to never "break ties" in different ways, Putin's visit to China must have important things to talk about, most likely involving the Russian-Ukrainian issue, Sino-Russian cooperation or the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, China and Russia will work together in the regional situation in a "united" posture, which will pose a huge challenge to the hegemonic behavior of the United States, and Biden's greatest concern has appeared.
The different influences of China and Russia in the Eurasian continent, the high degree of complementarity in resources and industrial production, and the deepening of Sino-Russian relations are by no means summed up by the annual trade volume of the two countries of 240.1 billion US dollars. At present, the United States and Europe's assistance to Ukraine is continuing, NATO is conducting military exercises on the Russian border, and the subtext of the three sentences sent by Putin before getting on the plane is a declaration of the power of the West, for the suppression and containment of the West, Russia will not compromise, and will respond to various challenges with the will of "looking east", this "east" may not only be China, but also North Korea, Iran, Central Asia and other third worlds are Putin's choice. Russia, far from the West, is taking on the world stage with a completely new attitude.
As far as China is concerned, the democratization of international relations and the scientific development of international governance are unremitting pursuits, which are in the fundamental interests of Russia and other countries in the world. Only by strengthening strategic autonomy and taking the path of development in line with national interests can we achieve national development and long-term peace and stability.
