There are many myths: what is China's actual position in relations with Russia?

Now the Russians are making a lot of efforts to prevent some countries from taking part in the Global Peace Summit, initiated by Ukraine. It is extremely important for the Kremlin that a representative of the PRC does not come to Switzerland.

In this situation, China is a fetish for everyone: Ukraine, Europe and Russia. But how much influence does China have on Russia, or is it a myth that has been inflated to universal proportions, political scientist Oleg Lesnoy explained 24 to Channel.

“Now I don’t see China’s readiness to do what is expected of it. Some say that it will decide everything and has influence on Russia, but the Kremlin thinks on the contrary, that together with China it can defeat everyone. As for me , only time can show this,” said the political scientist.

China is playing on one side

The whole logic of events shows that there are a lot of myths around relations between Russia and China. Moreover, an article was published by a Chinese professor who made fun of Moscow, naming five points why it is losing the war. The Chinese are great in the sense that they were able to create a myth of themselves as an exceptional player in the world.

It seems that China can say “ugh” , and Putin will crawl under the bench and sit whining,” noted Lesnoy.

However, the question arises when the PRC had its last successful war, how many times did the Chinese lose and why does everyone think , that Beijing is a pill that will cure all diseases and can affect anyone.

Perhaps this is my subjective opinion, but I don’t I think that China can now play on some side honestly. “He plays on one side – his own,” the political scientist added.

The West is dependent on China

At the same time, the United States is now warning China that it should not supply goods to Russia, and some senators even directly accuse Beijing of having already chosen a side, but they do this without official confirmation.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that if the information is confirmed, Washington will take action against China. However, what measures or sanctions against Beijing can the United States and Europe take if they are all dependent on China.

The world is constantly changing. China is also very dependent on the money it makes by supplying goods to the West, and is afraid of losing it. In comparison, Russia is not a market for Beijing,” Lesnoy emphasized. active neutrality. Because the PRC is not a neutral state now, but the West needs it to become neutral in this case.

China's insidious plan

• Chinese leader Xi Jinping wants to lure Europe away from the United States to his side using economic leverage, providing more opportunities. By the way, Xi Jinping is going to visit the EU for the first time in 5 years.
• In addition, French President Emmanuel Macron plans to establish better ties with Xi Jinping during his two-day visit to France. Rumor has it that he plans to urge the Chinese leader to persuade Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
• Xi also plans to visit Serbia and Hungary. He wants to create a picture like “Europe is on China's side”, regardless of Brussels' position.
