US President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met in San Francisco on November 15. However, even after this, Beijing will continue to help Russia, but to a very limited extent.

China's support for Russia will not be in the same volume as Western assistance to Ukraine. This opinion was voiced by Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko to Channel 24 .

“China claims world hegemony”

Igor Yakovenko noted that the meeting between Xi Jinping and Joe Biden was very important. The main result of these negotiations is the resumption of communication between the Chinese and US militaries.

In fact, this reduces to almost zero the chances of any conflict that could lead to a nuclear disaster. This is a very important story,” he says.

According to the oppositionist, no matter what, one should not think that China will stop helping Russia. In addition, the PRC will try to maintain tension in the world. In particular, to influence processes in the Middle East, but this will be unsuccessful.

“China still lays claim to world hegemony. It will arm Russia against Ukraine. But Russia’s support will continue to be limited. This is very important. This will not be the support that the West provides to Ukraine,” the journalist suggested.
