Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the United States for the first time in 6 years. There he met with the country's President Joe Biden. But both sides prepared diligently for this meeting.

Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Taras Berezovets told Channel 24 , noting that China and the United States did not hide that one of the main topics of the meeting would be Ukraine. Let us note that the leaders of the countries met on November 15 in San Francisco.

Currently, China has a serious economic crisis. The way out of it, in particular, can be with the help of the United States. Currently, the United States is actively and successfully using its technological advantage. Beijing is very concerned that American tech giants may begin to cooperate with India instead of China.

Xi Jinping is not just another Chinese leader. He was re-elected to the post of head of state for the third time. In addition, he firmly maintains control over the Communist Party of the People's Republic of China.

For him, it is currently important to do more than just take a photo with the American leader during his visit. This meeting is considered as one of the key ones on the path to achieving peace in Ukraine,” Berezovets emphasized.

The PRC is perhaps the only state in the world that Vladimir Putin listens to to a certain extent. Moreover, presidential elections are planned in Russia in 2024.

Support from China or a “cold” meeting with the head of the Kremlin in Beijing could mean big, serious problems for Putin. The Russian President hopes that China is his greatest ally. It is important for him to maintain a relationship with him.

“Putin will be forced to listen. By the time of his presidential elections, he will be vulnerable to requests that will come from Xi,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces officer added.

Threat to the USA

China is a much more serious adversary for the United States than Russia. This is evidenced by documents adopted by the country's National Security Council and statements by high-ranking American officials.

The PRC, with the second largest population in the world, a super-powerful economy, a super-powerful military-industrial complex, an army and global ambitions, poses a much greater danger to the United States in the short and medium term.

The West and the United States have chosen a strategy of direct confrontation with the Putin regime. Meanwhile, relations with China are developing completely differently.

American President Jimmy Carter once ushered in an era of “thaw” in relations between the United States and China. Then the paradigm of US-Chinese relations changed in many ways. The current situation between the countries, according to Berezovets, is more characterized by “warming.”

In the case of China, the Americans chose a strategy of containment rather than direct confrontation. They want to “embrace” China and give, on the one hand, the opportunity for cooperation. And on the other hand, do not let their military machine out of sight,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces officer emphasized.

It is very important for China to resume relations with the United States, which have been significantly worsened by the Chinese spy probe. That is why, on the eve of the meeting, the country purchased 3 million tons of soybeans from the United States of America.

“In China, this is a traditional form of demonstrating a favorable attitude. All signals received from Beijing before this meeting indicated that Beijing is more than constructive,” emphasized Taras Berezovets.

What is known about the incident

In February, a hot air balloon was spotted over US territory. He had surveillance equipment. The Pentagon suggested that it was most likely launched by the PRC. The balloon was trying to fly over a United States missile base. China, meanwhile, claimed that the balloon was a civilian airship that deviated from its planned route due to westerly winds. At the same time, US intelligence stated that this balloon is part of a large-scale surveillance program for the Chinese army.
