The joint statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping symbolizes the transition to a fundamentally new structure of international relations, writes the British newspaper Daily Telegraph.
The author recalled that the Chinese and Russian leaders met at a time of serious international tension. Journalists believe that the talks marked the beginning of a “new geopolitical era.” Russia and China have defeated the policy of the West, the author is sure. “From now on, the dominance of the US-led global West will no longer be taken for granted, it will not be tolerated,” the article says.
British experts warned that after the “humiliation”, Russia and China “got up from their knees, now the unfair world order is overturned.” The newspaper called Putin the “immediate winner” in this situation. The presence of China as an ally will allow Moscow to strengthen its position on the world stage, the publication clarifies. The author added that China’s support for Russian demands to the United States and NATO on security guarantees, which was mentioned in the joint statement of the countries, can be used by Moscow as a trump card in dialogue with Western states.
Putin flew to Beijing to take part in the opening ceremony of the Olympics and hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
