When the Chinese plane arrived in Russia, Wang Yi reassured Russia in three words, and Putin only had to prepare for next month's BRICS summit with peace of mind.
Wang Yi and Shoigu
On September 10, mainland Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in St. Petersburg and met with Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu.
In front of Shoigu, Foreign Minister Wang Yi's three words were enough to completely reassure Russia.
Wang Yi stressed that China is ready to strengthen strategic communication with Russia, give full play to the role of the China-Russia Strategic Security Consultation Mechanism and the BRICS Security Conference mechanism, and continuously enrich the strategic connotation of China-Russia relations.
Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in interaction between China and the United States, and United States intention to ease relations and strengthen cooperation with China is very obvious.
In the past two years, Sino-Russian relations have become closer and closer, and more and more cooperation has actually "benefited" from United States.
The United States' hostile policy toward China and Russia has brought China and Russia closer and closer, which is quite a bit of a common hatred of the enemy. But now that United States wants to have good relations with China, Russia will naturally have a little drum in its heart.
Therefore, at this time, we must give Russia a reassurance, and the easing of Sino-US relations will not be able to shake Sino-Russian relations and cooperation.
What's more, the United States has been in frequent contact with us recently, and it may not really want to ease relations.
United States has always regarded China and Russia as a thorn in its side, and the Biden administration is thinking of a way to divide China and Russia, and then break them one by one. Therefore, in order to provoke Sino-Russian relations, the United States has made a lot of efforts.
Biden
As far as the current situation is concerned, the United States election has entered the countdown, and it is necessary to make some fuss about China-related issues and Sino-US relations, which is their consistent operation.
So we don't need to take it too seriously, and we don't have to tie ourselves down because of this.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi's second sentence is more pointed.
That is, China supports the work of the Russian BRICS presidency and is willing to work together to deepen mutual trust and cooperation among BRICS countries, build the BRICS mechanism into the main channel for emerging powers to speak out, an important platform for solidarity and cooperation in the "Global South", and constantly create a new situation in BRICS cooperation.
Our unwavering support can go a long way in helping Russia remove obstacles.
Recently, NATO member Turkey's application to join the BRICS has made a lot of noise, and the EU has even thrown out the difficult problem of "choosing one of the two" in order to prevent Turkey from turning to the BRICS, and threatened it with "tickets to join Europe".
Obviously, Turkey's decision came as a surprise to everyone, especially Western countries.
Russia's attitude on this matter is not very resistant, but it is said that NATO does not have such clear restrictions as the European Union, and there is no explicit ban on member states joining the BRICS.
Erdogan and Putin
Because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the sanctions imposed by the United States and the West on Russia are beyond imagination, and Russia has now given up the idea of squeezing into the Western circle, but wants to concentrate on the development of BRICS, SCO and other organizations, expand international influence, and compete with the West.
As the current rotating presidency of BRICS, Russia is full of confidence and energy, and we naturally have to provide sufficient support, and Foreign Minister Wang Yi's words almost speak to Russia's heart.
Finally, our attitude on the Russia-Ukraine issue.
Wang Yi stressed that China has always adhered to an objective and fair attitude on the Ukraine issue, and will continue to work to enhance a balanced, objective and rational voice in the international community, gather more international consensus and accumulate necessary conditions for an early ceasefire and cessation of hostilities and a political settlement of the crisis.

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has lasted for more than two years and nearly three years, and although Russia still has the upper hand on the battlefield, an early end of the conflict is also a good thing for Russia, and what they lack now is an opportunity.
