China and Russia issue joint statement to strengthen coordination in response to the United States
As is well known, the United States, Russia, and Europe have recently been deadlocked due to Putin's three major demands on the United States and NATO, including NATO not expanding, not deploying offensive weapon systems near the Russian border, and restoring Europe's military infrastructure to its 1997 state. As a result, both sides have not only increased their deployment of troops, but also frequently strengthened military deployments in border areas, and even the airspace over Ukraine is full of gunpowder. Why Putin's three major demands on the West have attracted sustained attention from various global forces is mainly because these three demands have directly touched on the core issues between Russia and the West. The most important thing is that Russia has no way out on these issues, and Putin has put on a posture that must be resolved. And from Russia's perspective, if no warning is issued to the West and a bottom line is set, Russia will lose its last strategic space.
Undoubtedly, Putin's three key demands have been put forward very well. If they can be resolved, it will not only restore Russia's previously squeezed strategic space, but also reduce substantive military contacts between the two sides, and greatly alleviate the military pressure currently faced by Russia. But will the West make concessions? The answer is undoubtedly negative. From the responses of the United States and NATO to Russia, it can be seen that not only does the United States not agree to a strategic retreat, but NATO also does not agree to a retreat. In one sentence, it is unlikely for the West to spit out the meat that has reached the mouth. So if Russia wants to regain these things that originally belonged to them, undoubtedly it can only rely on its strength to speak. Therefore, UkrainenowadaysIt has become a focus of attention for the United States, Russia, Russia, and Europe. The West predicts that Putin will completely resolve the Ukrainian conflict by sending troops to Ukraine, thereby forcing the West to make concessions. This is also why the United States and NATO have recently increased their troops in Eastern Europe. It must be said that the West is still very concerned about Putin's strong stance.
However, while we are paying attention to the confrontation between Russia and the West, have we also anticipated or considered similar issues between China and its Asian allies led by the United States, and these issues are not less acute than those between Russia and the West? I think this is the real point we need to remind ourselves to pay attention to.In fact, the performance of the United States in regions such as Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and India is essentially the same in nature as its performance in Poland, the Baltic Sea, and Ukraine, only targeting different targets.Therefore, Putin's three major demands on the West this time can be regarded as a kind of provocation and encouragement for China to defend its own security and interests.Just now it was reported that China and Russia have reached a consensus in this regard, and China may act like Putin against the United States and its anti China allies in Asia.
On February 4th, the Russian news agency Sputnik reported that the joint statement between Russia and China on international relations in the new era and global sustainable development released on the Russian official website stated that Russia and China urge the United States to abandon plans to deploy medium - and short-range missiles in the Asia Pacific region and Europe, and the two countries will strengthen coordination. The statement stated, "Both sides believe that the United States' withdrawal from the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, acceleration of the development of land-based medium - and short-range missiles, and intention to deploy such missiles in the Asia Pacific region and Europe, as well as to transfer them to its allies, will exacerbate tension and mistrust, increase international and regional security risks, weaken the international non-proliferation and arms control system, and undermine global strategic stability. Both sides urge the United States to actively respond to Russia's initiative, abandon plans to deploy land-based medium - and short-range missiles in the Asia Pacific region and Europe, and continue to maintain contact and strengthen coordination on this matter.
I have to say, thisThe visit of Putin to China has brought us many surprises. In addition to more than ten cooperation items, strategic mutual trust and cooperation are the most crucial and important.In particular, the joint statement on sustainable development of Sino Russian relations in the new era explicitly opposes the deployment of strategic weapons by other countries near China and Russia, as well as the deployment of medium range and short-range missiles. This itself indicates that China and Russia are consistent on Putin's three major demands, and conversely, as long as China makes similar three demands on countries such as the United States, Russia also supports China.Especially considering that the United States has deployed over 60% of its troops in Asia, China's current military pressure has actually surpassed that of Russia. If China does not make similar three demands, it will only give the United States an advantage. Therefore, it is time to establish rules for the United States and others.
