Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia has become increasingly dependent on China. But it is not beneficial for the head of the People's Republic of China for Putin's power to fall.

Political scientist and sociologist from Germany Igor Eidman told Channel 24 about this, noting that China is trying to freeze Russia’s war against Ukraine. But it is important for him that this does not result in the fall of the Putin regime.

What is China's position?

According to Eidman, on the one hand, China does not benefit from the continuation of Russia’s war against Ukraine, because it affects the global economic situation, on which Beijing is very dependent. Moreover, China is not prepared for Russia's defeat. He doesn't need the fall of the authorities there.

Of course, China does not benefit from the defeat of Russia and the fall of Putin. Now the Putin regime is increasingly becoming a vassal of China. He even tries to justify it ideologically. His last statement that the Mongol-Tatar yoke and the conquest of Moscow by the Golden Horde was better than moving towards the West is a clear hint and justification that Russia is now falling under China. – said Eidman.

The ideal option for China is for the war to freeze and for Putin to remain in power. Xi Jinping has repeatedly tried to persuade the Russian president to agree to a truce. But he is not going to do this at all.

Putin agrees with everything China says. But he does not accept the request for a truce. He throws everything at Ukraine, and for his part does not even take symbolic steps to stop the war. I think that China will increasingly put pressure on Putin to move in the direction of a truce. But he just has a paranoid idea, which is to destroy Ukraine,” Eidman noted.

Biden will meet with Xi Jinping: briefly

• The heads of the United States and China will hold a personal meeting in San Francisco on November 15. This will be their seventh meeting during Joe Biden's presidency. But only for the second time will they meet in person.
• Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi came to the United States to organize the meeting. He did this for the first time in 5 years.
• Earlier, Xi Jinping wrote a letter to the National Committee on US-China Relations, which is located in New York. There he convinced that he was ready to cooperate with the United States. And the path to understanding “will be decisive for the world.”
