~ 60 > Return of President Donald Trump to the White House brought Beijing a lot of unpleasant surprises. The most of all the PRC are concerned about the resumption of economic cooperation between the Russian Federation and the United States, in particular, the development of minerals in the Russian Arctic. about how China is concerned about the unexpected “friendship” of Trump and Putin, says the article The Washington Post.< p > On the third anniversary of the full -scale invasion, Chinese leader Xi Jinping talked with the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, confirming close ties between countries and calling Moscow a “real friend” and “kind neighbor”.
< p > the call was heard against the backdrop of assumptions that a sharp change in Trump’s policy on establishing closer ties with Moscow could put Beijing in a disadvantageous position, and seemed partially aimed at showing confidence in the long -standing alliance.
< p >However, experts in Washington and Beijing say that any alarm to change geopolitics is mixed with optimism from the Chinese leaders who can welcome the diplomatic end of the war in Ukraine.
< p > “the call seems to be directed against any speculation that Russia will deprive the priority of its relations with China as part of a large agreement on Ukraine. But there is reason to believe that China is not very concerned,” said Joseph Torigian , researcher of Russian-Chinese relations with the American University in Washington.< p > in his opinion, the war in Ukraine put China in a difficult situation. Beijing provided the decisive economic and political assistance of Russia since the beginning of the war in 2022. While Russia was faced with the paralyzing sanctions of the West and isolation in the international arena after the invasion, Beijing helped, supplying the electronic components necessary for Moscow on the battlefield, as well as the extremely necessary market for the sale of Russian oil.
< h2 >Trump wants to “be friends” with Putin against China ?
< p > Trump return to the oval office changed this isolation. In the last month, Trump quickly gave a signal that he wanted to work with Putin
< p > quick warming of American-Russian ties forced some experts to suggest that Donald Trump was trying to carry out “reverse nixon.” We are talking about the diplomatic success of President Richard Nixon, who in the 1970s enlisted the support of China in the confrontation with the USSR. Now Trump probably wants to make a similar trick, but vice versa – having made Moscow an ally in the confrontation with China.
< p > However, experts on Russian-Chinese relations consider the “reverse reverse of nixon” far-fetched.< p >Tsui Hunjiang, a researcher of European research at the University of Beings of Foreign Research, said that although the interaction between the United States and Russia “exerted a certain pressure on China”, this will not damage the long -standing trust and the common interests between Moscow and Beijing.
62 > < p > this week Beijing repeated this opinion. The English-language newspaper Global Times, publishing the position of the Communist Party of China, published an article in which she rejected the idea that Beijing was “concerned” due to Trump's attempts to agree with the Kremlin. < p > < p > on Monday Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping held a telephone conversation in which Si emphasized that not a single “third party” could affect their bilateral relations. China wants to improve relations with Europe< p >“China wants to improve its relationship with Europe,” says Cheng, a professor of political science of the University of Hong Kong. According to him, the Russian support of Russia became a source of friction in his relations with Europe and the United States, while Chinese companies fell under sanctions by Washington for supporting the Russian military machine.
In his speech at the Munich Security Conference this month Van and, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, it seems, it seems to hint for this desire to improve European-Chinese ties.
< p > “China has always seen in Europe an important pole in a multipolar world,” said Van I. “China is ready to cooperate with the European side to … direct the world to a bright future world, security, prosperity and progress” .
< h2 > Beijing is afraid that Trump will transfer US resources from Ukraine to Asia
< p > Jah Jan Chong, political scientist from the National University of Singapore, said that Beijing may be concerned that the end of the war in Ukraine can give Trump a greater space for focusing on competition with China.
< p > “real concern is that if there is peace in Ukraine, then the resources that the United States and, perhaps, Europeans have previously allocated in support of Ukraine, then will be reoriented to Asia,” he said.
~ 60 > “Beijing is preparing for long competition, possibly even confrontation, with the United States,” said Philip Ivanov, a Sino-Russian expert and founder of the consulting company Geopolitical Risk and Strategy Practice. “When the American-Chinese relations are in a tense state, it is really good to have Russia on their side”.
