“I will leave you without money”: why Xi is becoming more anxious about cooperation with Russia Anzhelika Galesevich

After the visit of Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, China's position has not changed. The country continues to adhere to its “peace plan” that it developed to end the war in Ukraine. However, the world is putting pressure on Beijing, since it is becoming increasingly difficult to “play” a neutral position.

This is the opinion 24 Channel Political strategist Boris Tiesenhausen said, noting that China is officially recognized as the driving and decisive force in helping Russia in the war against Ukraine. Therefore, new sanctions and trade restrictions are being introduced.

How Trump Can Influence Xi

The political strategist said that one of the international organizations conducted a detailed analysis of cooperation between China and Russia: how many and what kind of microchips Beijing supplies to Moscow, by what routes, how this happens, where the aggressor country used them – in missiles or other equipment.

More and more such evidence is appearing. Accordingly, it is becoming increasingly difficult for China to balance. Settlements between Beijing and Russian businesses are increasing over time. There are problems with payment in yuan, and I won't even mention rubles, Tiesenhausen noted.

It's not just trade gain that's at stake now. Beijing has already flooded the Russian market with its goods. In addition, Chinese businesses are extracting discounts from all Russians who trade with them, and not just those who are under sanctions.

Xi Jinping feels great, but at the same time he is getting worried. Since they are taking certain measures against those who help Russia circumvent sanctions. Therefore, China may have serious problems in this regard.

Donald Trump, who could potentially become the next US president, has good experience in fighting and imposing trade restrictions. He once told Iran: “I will leave you without money.” He can do it (on China – 24 Channel). He understands the economic pain points. His team can work on this, – emphasized Boris Tiesenhausen.
