Chinese Ambassador to the US Xie Feng, who is classified as a moderate, has been appointed to the local area.
It has been five months since the position became vacant due to the reconnaissance balloon incident.
It is interpreted as an extension of US President Joe Biden’s ‘sea ice remarks’ and recent high-level contacts.

However, China doubts the sincerity of the sudden change in attitude of the United States and is urging sanctions against itself to be lifted.
The White House also condemns China’s Micron sanctions, and the US Congress is demanding countermeasures, so the road to thawing seems far away.
On the other hand, close contact between China and Russia is becoming more blatant.
As if ridiculing the additional G7 sanctions, the Russian prime minister visited China with a 500-member economic delegation.
He even mentioned the “North Sea Route” while presenting a blueprint for achieving 200 billion dollars (262 trillion won) in trade between the two countries this year.

As the polar ice cap melts due to global warming, it is a route whose strategic value is increasing.
It could also draw China into sensitive waters, such as Sweden and Finland, which are pushing to join NATO.
This is the background of Russia’s surprise gift to China of the right to use the port of Vladivostok in the Far East.

China, which stands on the side of Russia while advocating peace mediation in Ukraine, and Russia, which leans on China despite concerns about economic vassalage, are drawing their own big picture.
