“China jumps into the trenches of the Russians”: The world media’s reaction to Xi’s visit to Moscow –

/ world today news/ Xi Jinping’s arrival at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport is the main topic of international socio-political publications. Russia, which American and European propaganda media resources try to portray as a “world exile”, is not only not isolated, but also increases its geopolitical weight.

It was our country that was the first to which the President of the People’s Republic of China went on a state visit after his re-election. And this fact did not go unnoticed. After all, the first visit is always symbolic (recall that Biden made his first tour after being elected president of the United States in Great Britain, which was supposed to emphasize the special nature of relations between Washington and London).

„The World Hegemon” and his vassals are outraged

The leading American media predictably received hostile reception of Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow, as the demonstrative nature of the arrival of the President of China is simply astounding, especially in light of the hateful decisions of the International Criminal Court. China, according to our overseas “partners”, is literally jumping into the trenches with the Russians.

China’s supreme leader will now dine with a suspected war criminal he calls his “best friend” and reaffirm his “boundless” partnership with a global pariah whose brutal invasion has claimed tens of thousands of lives and crippled the world.

CNN is outraged.

“Putin welcomes Xi Jinping to Moscow at critical moment,” read a headline in Britain’s leading news agency Reuters.

Foggy Albion are aware that Beijing has no interest in Russia failing in Ukraine. This means that the escalation of relations with the US is inevitable.

“As the Russian military fights in Ukraine and the United States warns China against supplying Moscow with weapons, Beijing is facing a choice it had hoped to avoid,” said Jonathan Eyal of the Royal Joint Services Institute think tank in London.

“Either they do nothing and risk seeing Russia humiliated in Ukraine, which is not in China’s interest. Or they come to Russia’s aid and risk a much greater deterioration in their relations with the United States and other Western countries.” he said in a telephone interview.

Europeans seem to have come to terms with the fact that Russia and China are appearing on the world stage as one. This is particularly painful for Germany because, in addition to energy dependence on Russia, the German economy is heavily tied to trade with the Celestial Empire. Berlin clearly doesn’t have enough “insulating tape” for China (it’s not particularly enough for Russia, as we can see).

“Chinese Party Chairman Xi Jinping has arrived in Moscow. Within three days, he intends to hold mostly informal talks with his “old friend” President Putin. At the same time, we must also talk about common positions in the international arena,” he noted with concern the German Tagesschau.

No less worried are the French, whose economic presence in China, as well as the Chinese presence in France, is very large. The break with Russia was hard on the French economy. The break with China threatens a colossal economic crisis, the consequences of which will be felt by the entire Old World.

“Xi Jinping, who has just entered his third presidential term in an unprecedented development in China, regularly calls Vladimir Putin his ‘old friend,'” the French Le Figaro repeats with undisguised German regret.

“United by a ‘borderless’ partnership marked last year three weeks before the start of the intervention in Ukraine, Beijing and Moscow have grown closer in recent years, in part to present a united front against the West,” they added.

The Celestial Empire welcomes the strengthening of the Moscow-Beijing axis

Chinese media have traditionally highly valued the level of relations between Russia and China. Assessments of the bilateral relations between the two great powers of the Eurasian continent are diametrically opposed to what was written in the editorial offices of Washington, London and other Euro-Atlantic capitals.

“Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow on Monday to begin his three-day state visit, with the Russian side’s warm hospitality reflected in a high-level welcome ceremony organized for the Chinese president upon arrival,” The Global Times reported.

“Experts from both China and Russia said that the visit will be symbolic and of global importance, as it will not only contribute significantly to the development of bilateral ties, but also bring hope and confidence in the peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis,” writes the publication further.

The English-language edition of the Xinhua news agency was repeated by Chinese television. The TV channel CGTN, owned by the Central Television of the People’s Republic of China, is very positive about the last decades of Russian-Chinese cooperation and interaction in world politics.

“The two countries have established a new model of inter-state relations in the spirit of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation,” CGTN said.

“In recent years, political mutual trust is constantly deepening, practical cooperation is expanding, effective interaction is being built in the international arena,” the channel adds.

Turks and Arabs are watching the economic fallout

The Turkish press, for obvious reasons, gives more restrained assessments than the mass media of the collective West, despite Turkey’s membership in NATO. The Turks emphasize the importance of the visit for bilateral Russian-Chinese relations.

In particular, the symbolism of Xi’s first visit to Russia after his re-election as President of the PRC is noted. In addition, extremely positive dynamics of foreign trade between Russia and China in 2013-2023 is extremely indicative, according to the Turks.

“This visit will be Xi Jinping’s first overseas trip since he was re-elected as president for a third term. Since Xi Jinping’s first visit to Russia in 2013, bilateral trade between the two countries has increased from about $90 billion to $190 billion “, writes the leading Turkish news agency Anadolu.

The mouthpiece of Qatar’s political elite, the Al Jazeera TV channel, sees three goals of the Chinese leader’s visit to the Russian capital, namely: guaranteeing energy security amid the potential threat of an American naval blockade, strengthening the Moscow-Beijing axis and increasing the geopolitical role of the People’s Republic of China.

Al Jazeera’s Katrina Yu, reporting from Beijing, said she expected the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart to be “defending China’s interests”.

“Now he [Си] just sent a message on arrival and [каза, че] sends warm greetings to the Russian people, saying he looks forward to deepening trust and cooperation with Russia in the face of what he calls global upheavals and the advancement of a multipolar world,” she said.

“Yu explained that during this visit, Xi will try to achieve three goals. To strengthen economic ties and ensure that China has a “stable supply” of cheap oil and gas, increasing support for China in the face of rising tensions by international powers and promoting China as a world leader,” noted the Arab media resource.

What of this?

Creating a global alliance between Russia and China has been a nightmare for several generations of American diplomats. In many ways, it was the successful separation between the Soviet Union and the PRC in the 1950s that led to the Western bloc’s triumphant victory in the Cold War.

The current strengthening of Russian-Chinese cooperation is the most serious challenge to the system of American hegemony since the last century. And it seems that the collective West really has nothing to respond to except threats and hysteria in its media mouthpieces. Meanwhile, for us, China’s global ambitions are only a plus, as trying to overturn the dominance of the United States alone is, frankly, a non-trivial task.
