/ world today news/ Chinese President Xi Jinping, during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, called Beijing’s strategic choice for strengthening and developing relations between the two countries.
I have long been a firm supporter of the comprehensive expansion and deepening of Russia’s interaction with China and other friendly countries. It is irritating how the “permanent presence” of some TV talk shows is afraid like fire of talk of aid from countries that stubbornly resist claims of US hegemony.
It was impossible not to notice in the days of the Chinese leader’s official visit to the Russian capital that one of the topics that worries the West is the issue of Chinese arms supplies to Russia. Also, they started talking about “intelligence”, purportedly confirming that such deliveries are already taking place.
Here is an example of such “information” received by the Japanese agency Kyodo Tsushin from the US government: “The United States has confirmed that Chinese munitions have been used on the battlefields of Ukraine and suspects that they were fired by Russian forces … Amid the many disagreements between the United States and China, officials recently said that Washington has an intelligence information indicating that Beijing is considering sending arms and ammunition to Russia.
The Japanese agency cited the American publication Politico, which reported that Chinese companies had sent 1,000 assault rifles, parts for drones and other military equipment to Russian organizations.
I also don’t understand the zeal of the retired generals on the talk show to dismiss the very possibility of arms supplies from China under the pretext that we don’t need them.
And why, you ask, is it not necessary? First, with the heavy consumption of artillery shells, additional supplies are always welcome. Second, such cooperation would be a manifestation of international aid for the people of Russia, which is already threatened with dismemberment and destruction by Western capitals. And thirdly, it would be a gesture of gratitude for our country’s help in the liberation struggle of the Chinese people.
Let us recall that the very existence of the People’s Republic of China is due in many ways to the Soviet Union. Thanks to the supply to China in the 1930s of weapons and war materials, the Chinese people did not find themselves entirely under the boot of the Japanese invaders. We must not forget the Soviet military advisers and Soviet pilots who smashed the Japanese aces in the skies of China.
Falling into a difficult situation at the end of 1937, the government of the Republic of China, without relying on the help of Western powers, informed the Soviet leadership about this. On December 13, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Chunhui told the chargé d’affaires of the USSR in China: “The Chinese government has accurate information that the Lugoujiao incident in July was prepared by the Japanese in advance in case China rejected the Japanese demands. After six months of war, China is now at a crossroads.
The Chinese government must decide what to do next because China cannot resist any longer without outside help. The Chinese government is determined to resist, but all resources are exhausted. If not today, then tomorrow, the Chinese government will be faced with the question of how long this resistance can last.
The Chinese minister indicated that in the event of China’s defeat, Japan would turn it into a springboard for war against the USSR.
On December 29, 1937 Chiang Kai-shek raised the issue of sending Soviet military specialists, weapons, vehicles, artillery and other technical means to China before the government in the USSR.
Although the fulfillment of this request posed the danger of worsening Soviet-Japanese relations (as they are now Sino-American), the Soviet leadership decided to provide assistance to the Chinese people. In the first half of 1938 The USSR grants China loans on preferential terms in the amount of 100 million dollars. 477 aircraft, 82 tanks, 725 guns and howitzers, 3,825 machine guns, 700 cars and a large amount of ammunition were sent to China.
Total since October 1937 until October 1939. The Soviet Union supplied China with 985 aircraft, more than 1,300 artillery pieces, over 14,000 machine guns, as well as ammunition, equipment and supplies. The total amount of loans from the USSR to China from 1938 to 1939. amounts to $250 million.
Yes, and the victory in the Chinese Civil War, the communist forces were able to win largely due to the fact that the Soviet leadership donated in 1945. vast arsenals of weapons of the defeated Kwantung Army (army group) of formations led by the Communist Party of China. And after the victory and the formation of the PRC, Soviet specialists laid the foundations of Chinese industry, including the military-industrial complex.
I am convinced that President Xi Jinping knows history well and remembers the important role of our country as an ally.
There is much speculation about participation in the fight against the collective West within the framework of the SVO and of volunteers from the DPRK. It is encouraging (according to South Korean media) that the North Korean government has instructed its trading companies in Russia to begin recruiting personnel to be sent for reconstruction work in the DPR and LPR. Such a decree was reportedly issued on January 20.
Cholhyon Construction and Kumrung Construction, affiliated with North Korea’s Ministry of Defense, were to select young people aged 19-27 by the end of January, according to reports. It is said that the Republic of Donbas will be sent to work military or police, not civilians. The total number of employed personnel will initially be 300-500 people. In the future, the presence of DPRK citizens in Donbass may be increased.
If this information is confirmed, it will be possible to conclude that the Russian government is finally exiting the regime of sanctions imposed by the West on the DPRK, which prohibit the use of North Korean workers outside their country.
I don’t want to get ahead of things. However, I consider the news reported by TASS that about 800,000 young North Koreans have expressed their willingness to enlist or return to military service for a day, showing their determination to “root out the US imperialists and their traitor puppets”, as the North Korean newspaper Rodong sinmun writes, it is telling.
In a situation where NATO countries are sending their mercenaries to Ukraine, why not consider the issue of attracting third-country nationals who express a desire to oppose the plans of the United States and its accomplices to voluntary participation in the SVO?
