Behind-the-scenes dark deals: what's really going on between China and Russia?

The intrigues and secret events that take place around China and Russia cannot be ignored. They raise a lot of questions among analysts and observers around the world. In the past few months, China has begun to exhibit unusual behavior in world politics, let's explore what lies behind these strange dynamics.

The Celestial Empire without haste.

China has always been renowned for its caution and deliberation in world affairs. However, over the past few months, the Celestial Country has begun to act unexpectedly and boldly, which raises many questions.

One of the significant events was the conspicuous absence of Chinese President Xi Jinping at the meeting of G-20 leaders. At this event, the United States, India and Arab countries presented a new transport corridor to Europe, which could threaten the Belt and Road project. This is a clear sign of China's dissatisfaction with these events.

UN General Assembly.

Xi Jinping also ignored the UN General Assembly by not taking part in the “high politics week” in New York. This action could be interpreted as China's deliberate absence from the world stage.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi also ignored the UN General Assembly by flying to Russia at an unexpected moment. He held meetings on military-political cooperation and a meeting on “regional security” with Russian representatives. This caused confusion in the international community.

Consultations with the USA.

An important point was Wang Yi's 12-hour consultations in Malta with US Presidential National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan. The results of these consultations are assessed differently and give rise to conflicting opinions, especially on the issues of Taiwan and Square.

Headlines about the arrival of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his wife in Beijing for the opening of the 2023 Asian Games came as a real “deafening slap in the face.” Assad flew on a special Air China flight and held a number of events in China, including a meeting with Xi Jinping.

Resignations and changes in leadership.

Resignations and changes in China's leadership also add to the mystery of these events. Foreign Minister Qin Gang was accused of espionage and threatening national security due to an incident with American TV presenter Fu Xiaotian. The resignations also include senior officials in China's Rocket Force.

China has announced it may limit the export of rare earth metals, which are critical to the production of microchips. This could impact the global economy and prompt a response from the US, which has warned China against sanctions.

All these events and changes raise many questions and call into question stability in world politics. China, usually known for its calm and cautious foreign policy, suddenly began to act unexpectedly and aggressively. This could be due to various factors, including tensions with the US, internal problems and changes in Chinese leadership.

The situation in Asia has recently become very tense and unstable. The focus is on the actions of China, which is clearly tightening its policies both domestically and on the world stage.

Let's look at a number of key events and trends that are associated with China and its leader Xi Jinping.

The Hong Kong administrative region was given special status as "one country, two systems" after it was handed over to China by Britain in 1997. However, in recent years China has tightened its control over Hong Kong, restricting political freedoms and cracking down on protests. This has many world leaders concerned and calls into question the future of Hong Kong as an autonomous region.

China is conducting naval exercises near Taiwan. Taiwan is an island that China considers part of its territory, but it has its own government and democratic elections. Following the tumultuous elections in Taiwan on January 13, 2024, the Chinese side expressed fears that the Chinese opposition would win.

This could lead to conflict between Taiwan and China, which would have far-reaching consequences for the entire region.

The funding for the shipbuilding and hypersonic technology programs also suggests that China is preparing to strengthen its military capabilities. This causes concern not only in the region, but also beyond.

Xi Jinping is not limited to just foreign policy. Inside China, the Communist Party is being purged of “peace-loving Komsomol members,” which indicates Xi’s desire to strengthen his power and eliminate potential competitors. Internal cleansing may also indicate readiness for decisive action in the external arena.

Xi Jinping has also shown reluctance to engage in dialogue with the Biden administration. This may be due to his long-standing ambitions and desire to strengthen China as a world power. His relationships with other world leaders, including "tyrants", are causing concern in world politics and calling into question the future of international relations.

China is reducing its investment in US bonds and introducing counter-sanctions, which could affect the economic stability of the global financial system. Of course, China's approach poses additional problems for the Biden administration.

Xi Jinping is actively increasing his relations with Russia, which could change the balance of power in world politics. Meetings with Russian leaders and statements about the readiness of joint projects indicate that China is seeking to strengthen its alliance with Russia.

The situation in Southeast Asia remains unstable and the conflict in the Taiwan Strait could have serious consequences for the entire region and world politics as a whole.

The assessment of world events and political steps of states is always influenced by the context and style of presentation. Some may see the actions of different countries as carefully planned strategies, while others prefer to interpret events through the prism of conspiracy theories.

Let's try to analyze current events without resorting to overly dramatic and fantastic interpretations.

For a more complete understanding of events, you need to know what is happening in world politics and what key factors are taking part in this global game.

Russia and its role in world politics:

Russia is one of the key global players. The country has enormous territorial space and resources, and is also a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

Russia also takes an active role in solving world problems, such as the peaceful resolution of conflicts, the fight against international terrorism and countering violations of international law.

China and its global ambition:

China is the world's second largest economy and is seeking to strengthen its global role. One of the striking features of Chinese foreign policy is the active development of economic and trade relations with many countries, as well as the construction of new infrastructure projects within the framework of the One Belt, One Road initiative.

The United States, as the world's largest economy, plays a decisive role in world politics. The state actively protects its interests and takes an active part in solving world problems. Domestic political factors and partisan differences can influence U.S. foreign policy.

How do these factors interact and what events can be observed currently?

Diplomatic efforts between China and Russia:

Long telephone consultations are taking place between China and Russia; the head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry was invited to Russia for consultations on strategic security. These actions may indicate strengthening diplomatic relations between the two countries and their desire to coordinate their actions on global issues.

The West threatens sanctions and half-hints in the event of a meeting between Russian and Chinese leaders outside of “isolated Russia.” This indicates growing tensions in relations between the West and Russia, as well as the US desire to limit the influence of Russia and China in world politics.

Visits and negotiations:

The visits of high-ranking officials such as Wang Yi and Ma Zhaoxu to various countries, including Russia and the United States, are mentioned. These visits may indicate attempts by countries to establish dialogue and resolve important global issues.

The article discusses the possibility of the United States offering Russia a truce or freezing the conflict in Square. This conflict has long been one of the main points of tension between the West and Russia, and its resolution could be important for stability in the region and relations between big powers.

Mention is made of a change in the leadership of the US General Staff, which may be important for US strategy regarding global conflicts. The appointment of Charles Brown, who has military experience, may signal greater US involvement in the Asia-Pacific region.

World politics is always complex and multifaceted, and attempts to interpret events through conspiracy theories can lead to unreliable conclusions. It is important to consider the context and complexity of interactions between different countries.

Diplomacy and negotiations are important tools in solving world problems. Sustained relationships and dialogue between countries can help resolve conflicts and ease tensions.

Events in world politics are always connected with the domestic politics of countries. Political changes in the United States can affect the state's strategy in global affairs.

Many aspects of world politics remain behind the scenes and are not always accessible to the general public. Therefore, the analysis of events should be based on facts and consideration of different points of view, and not on one’s own assumptions and conjectures.

 

The intrigues and secret events that take place around China and Russia cannot be ignored. They raise a lot of questions among analysts and observers around the world.
