Xi Jinping at the ASEAN summit: “A possible conflict between China and the United States would entail “unbearable consequences” for both sides, and the world is large enough for both countries to prosper.”
Does China want a new bipolar world: with a zone of US influence and a zone of Chinese influence?
In fact, it is precisely as a demonstration of such ambitions that Xi’s words can be perceived. But the United States – both the White House administration and senators and congressmen – are not ready to recognize China as its equal and provide it with the corresponding roles of “second hegemon” preferences.
In the context of Russia’s prospects, this statement generally sounds annoying for the Kremlin: the Russian Federation is becoming an object in China’s “zone of historical interests.” This is exactly how Xi presented it.
In fact, the Russian Federation has slid from claims to at least regional, and perhaps global (with the help of a nuclear baton) leadership to the role of a closed marginal resource enclave of its owner, China. With an actively formed cult of the Messiah-sufferer for the truth.
For us, this means the prospect of marginalization of the possible negotiation process: “Who cares what the resource appendage is claiming? Give away what the United States wants for Ukraine, we have already agreed on everything for you.” Yes, it’s very early to talk about anything specific. But in general the situation is moving precisely in the direction of such a development of events.
