/ world today news/ The dates of the visit of President Xi, the head of state of China, to Moscow have been announced. March 20–22. What does this mean? That the union of Russia and China is a fait accompli. China’s comprehensive support for Russia is now something the whole world is sure of. But the “proposals to resolve the Ukrainian crisis” will remain only a pretext for starting a serious conversation.
Without exaggeration, the main news of international politics for a long, long time to come: in the period from March 20 to 22, the official state visit to Russia of the President of the People’s Republic of China, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping will take place.
This is the case when the clichés of official messages that people got used to in the last century and managed to unlearn in the current one seem more than appropriate: Xi’s visit to Moscow will, without any exaggeration, be of historical significance.
Peace proposals are a thing of the past
Within the framework of the talks, issues of the further development of relations of “comprehensive” partnership and strategic interaction between Russia and China will be touched upon. Within the framework of this meeting, the leaders of the two countries will also discuss the deepening of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the international arena.
This is how the official Kremlin report describes the visit. This announcement emphasizes that Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow will take place at the invitation of Vladimir Putin. The official announcement was supplemented by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov:
“The communication between the president and the president of China will start on the afternoon of March 20. It will be a face-to-face communication, there will be an informal lunch. And directly on March 21 will be the day of negotiations.”
What lies behind the hints of the official announcement?
Political scientist Sergey Markov deciphered it as follows:
Topics for negotiation:
1. Putin will inform about the progress of the SVO and the prospects for peace negotiations. China’s peace plan and its prospects.
2. How to build trade between Russia and China, bypassing US sanctions.
3. China’s assistance to Russia’s military-industrial complex, how ready China is, under what conditions.
4. Chips and other technological products.
5. How to jointly fight against the US in international organizations and in different regions.
6. Peace between KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and Iran – how to continue to cooperate in the Greater Middle East.
7. SCO and BRICS – how to develop them.
8. Central Asia and Afghanistan.
9. The price of Russian oil, gas. Future projects, are they subject to sanctions.
10. North Korea – to what extent it is possible to attract their military resources for SVO.
11. How to prevent nuclear war.
It is hard not to agree with Sergey Markov, but it is also hard not to notice that the list of topics does not include the one that seems most important to China’s “Western partners” on the world stage, namely the discussion of “proposals for Ukrainian settlement.”
Meanwhile, the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s statement on this issue has recently been widely discussed. However, the discussion was one-sided: in Moscow they said that the proposals were interesting and required serious study, but in the West they refused to take them seriously.
For an understandable, if disrespectful reason: the first point in the Chinese statement is the demand to respect the sovereignty of all countries and international law. It is all too obvious to post-Biden Western leaders that these demands are aimed more at them than at Russia. And they cannot fulfill these demands, remaining in their anti-Russian position.
This position is still maintained today in the West. Ahead of Xi’s visit to Moscow, CNN reported:
“China is trying to position itself as a neutral peace broker for Ukraine, but this position has been criticized in Western capitals because of Beijing’s growing partnership with Moscow.”
Because the whole world is at stake
China’s “peace proposals” remained a formal gesture, making it entirely possible to say: yes, we have given in to the desire for peace, but the West prefers to fight.
In this situation, Xi’s visit to Moscow looks just like the visit of one ally, the head of a great power, to another. We can confidently say that this will be perceived around the world – as evidence of a strong alliance between China and Russia, in which China demonstrates support for Russia.
In addition. This visit, and almost regardless of the content and success of the specific negotiations, will mean the division of the world into two large and unequal parts. One part of the world will remain with the Anglo-Saxons and their satellites, and the second, and much larger, will consist of various nations and states. Its leaders will be precisely Russia and China.
In fact, looking at this union, most countries of the world realize that they now have every opportunity to disobey the Anglo-Saxons and not fulfill their demands. Like Brazil, which the other day allowed Iranian warships to enter its ports. Like Saudi Arabia, which has said it will not comply with a demand to impose a ceiling on oil prices.
Moscow in this new world configuration gets a chance to become a “assembly point”. It is there that negotiations can take place between all segments of the newly created hemisphere, the leaders of China, Iran, India, Latin America, Pakistan, Africa and Southeast Asia can meet. At the same time, Russia will not be a suzerain at all, but an intermediary, a partner for each of the countries.
A hint of this development in global events can be found in many speeches by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The leader of Russia has repeatedly explained: we are building a world in which the dominance of the West will be impossible, a world in which all traditional values and all civilizations that gave birth to them will receive equal rights.
This new world will begin with the visit of President Xi. At least the chance of that is very high.
What of this?
So, now all the countries of the world, watching the conflict between Russia and the united West, understand that Russia is a hero, but not a lonely hero. On the contrary, Russia has assumed the role of the vanguard of the majority of humanity, which wants to free itself from the dictatorship of the West.
The dictatorship of the West is coming to an end – now only the USA and Great Britain, Canada and Australia and the European Union will obey it. Maybe Japan too. Xi’s visit is proof that the majority of humanity is behind Russia in its struggle.
But Russian patriots, of course, would like, in addition to such loud statements, to see concrete material assistance from an ally. We hope that the parameters of this aid will become clear in the course of the negotiations.
