Beijing has blurred its position on the war
China is clearly behind Russia
More clearly than ever, China is behind Russia. Beijing wants to “deepen exchanges with Moscow at all levels”. Military aggressions in Ukraine are stubbornly kept secret. The goal is the end of US hegemony, which is responsible for the war.

China has not so clearly supported war president Vladimir Putin (70) since he gave the order to invade Ukraine in February. Beijing continues to call itself neutral and apparently has no intention of providing military support to Russia in the war against Ukraine. But China also refrains from using a single word to condemn the Russians for the invasion and war atrocities in the former Soviet republic. On the contrary, China appears to tacitly approve the war instigated by Russia. To put an end to US hegemony.
On Thursday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi (69) unequivocally made it clear on which side China’s sympathies lie. Speaking on behalf of the Chinese government, Wang accused the US and NATO of cornering Russia with a proposed expansion of the transatlantic military alliance. According to Wang, China will deepen its relations with Russia, despite, or perhaps because of, Western criticism of the war.
“The Chinese side will firmly support the Russian side, led by President Putin, to unite and lead the Russian people to overcome difficulties, suppress unrest, achieve strategic development goals and Russia’s status as a great power on the international stage to be promoted. “. Wang said this in a phone call with his counterpart Sergey Lavrov (72), as reported by the Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
“Decline of US hegemony” as a goal
It is “the legitimate right of China and Russia to carry out their own development and revitalization, fully in line with the development trend of the times”, continued Wang. “Any attempt to block the progress of China and Russia will never be successful.” And then the hidden threat: China is “ready to deepen trade with Russia at all levels”. An “exchange at all levels” does not exclude military contacts.
Wang thus makes clear Chinese support for the Russians, as President Xi Jinping (69), elected for life, has already stated several times. China is signaling its intention to blur its stance on war as well. So far it has called itself neutral and has not provided military support to any country. China firmly avoids criticizing Russia for invading Ukraine, instead blaming the US and NATO war as clearly as never before.
The intensified exchange between China and Russia is also occurring against the backdrop of growing US attacks on the two countries, according to reports “Global times”, English-language spokesperson for the Communist leadership of Beijing. Washington sees both Russia and China as a threat. The in-depth exchange between Beijing and Moscow will not only make the “world fairer” but will also help build a multipolar world that will lead to the decline of US hegemony. (ke)
