U.S. journalist and political analyst Armen Chibukhchan suggested what Xi Jinping's speech might be. He spoke about thisChannel 24.
A new Cold War may begin
In his opinion, the head of China emphasized that nuclear threats are unacceptable.
He will create the impression that he is allegedly for peace, allegedly for observing international rules and territorial integrity , because China has issues with Taiwan, the journalist believes.
But he noted that at the same time, Jinping will send a message: if the West does not agree to compromises, then a new cold war may begin. But he will express it in a very veiled way.
“He will set conditions and his vision of the future world,” Chibukhchyan stressed.

China can very easily abandon Russia
He also commented on the words of high-ranking Chinese diplomat Wang Yi, who announced Xi Jinping's speech. Like, if you don’t want the Cold War to start, different groups didn’t form and the situation with them didn’t worsen, you need to reach an agreement.
But what's interesting is that if the US agrees with China, this does not mean that they will negotiate with Russia. Therefore, Moscow needs to understand that Beijing will not adhere to its interests if it gets what it needs,” the political analyst noted.
In his opinion, China can very easily leave Russia. Because he knows that one way or another she is already his appendage, if the Kremlin does not win and does not come to an agreement with the West.
“If China cannot allow Russia to go over to the side of the West, it must offer Moscow something,” said Armen Chibukhchyan.
