Putin didn’t just come to China: the OP explained his meeting with Xi Jinping

The first visit that Vladimir Putin made, having taken the post of President of Russia for the fifth time, took place to China on May 16. Before this meeting, Xi Jinping visited the leaders of several European countries friendly to Russia. These events are probably related.

Advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Mikhail Podolyak, told Channel 24 that Russia has lost its subjectivity in relation to China. He explained that the PRC is now a much larger player in the political arena, so Putin’s visit with a large delegation demonstrates attempts to gain the support of Xi Jinping.

Russia has lost ground

Podolyak noted that Russia, from a country that sat at the global table and talked on equal terms with the United States and the European Union, has now rapidly sunk to a country that is coming to China “to bow”.

China perceives Russia completely differently than at the beginning of a full-scale invasion (in Ukraine – Channel 24). He does not accept Putin as a partner. Russia, through the mouth of the Kremlin dictator, wants China to confirm the possibility of having economic support from it, he said.

According to the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, Vladimir Putin’s visit to China indicates that that he wants to receive guarantees that Russia will have the resources to continue the war. The dictator is afraid of defeat because he understands that without victory he “will not physically exist.”

What China wants< /h2>

Mikhail Podolyak believes that China wants to have high-quality economic relations with the European Union, because this is a high-tech market that Xi Jinping needs.

China wants to take away those countries that previously focused on Russia, in particular Hungary and Serbia. They now also want to have another center of influence, because they understand that Russia is in a state of passion. The Kremlin cannot be a representative of other people’s positions, but China can,” he noted.
