Is China the 'only friend that Russia has of any stature'? • FRANCE 24 English
China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin on Thursday pledged a "new era" of partnership between the two most powerful rivals of the United States which they cast as an aggressive Cold War hegemony that was sowing chaos across the world. Xi greeted Putin on a red carpet outside the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, where they were greeted by marching People's Liberation Army soldiers, a 21-gun salute on Tiananmen Square and children waving the flags of China and Russia. China and Russia declared a "no limits" partnership in February 2022 when Putin visited Beijing just days before he sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine, triggering the deadliest land war in Europe since World War Two. As Putin and Xi pledge a new era and a united front against the US, FRANCE 24's François Picard is joined by Dr Natasha Kuhrt, Senior Lecturer in International Peace and Security in the Department of War Studies at King's College London.

Russia has humiliated China for centuries till 2022.Although Putin now is the under dog.But Xi still can not get back an inch of his territory annexed by Russia in 19th century. All China , India ,Brazil .Argentina leaders after WW 2 like Mao,Ghandi, are idiotic and naive as they took side with Communist Russia to confront USA and Free world countries.Indian ,Brazil remains one of the poorest country in the world after 77 years gaining Independence ,but China has become the world 2nd biggest economy with Free world investment and high techies.If China takes side with USA and Free world countries to push Russia to collapse once again like USSR in 1991 They surely can get back theirr 1.7km2 territory annexed by Russian in 19th century peacefully like East Ẻuropean and Baltic countries after USSR disintergrated in 1991.

Russia has been described as a gas station that masquerades as a country. And Russia's biggest customers now tank elsewhere. Russia can only flog its hydrocarbons at bargain basement prices to opportunistic "allies".

Do you justify 💯% tariff on Chinese EVs? Surprisingly, US does. I lost trust in US.
@user-se9uk2py5k
21 күн бұрын
US tariffs are because China subsidizes production of EVs, which is unfair competition and a form of dumping. To level the field the US can either impose tariffs or subsidize their own companies. So yes, it can be justified.

At last count 143 countries out of 193 condemned Russia's actions vis-à-vis Ukraine. Only a pitiful 4 supported Russia.

You forgot a 0 (at the 0 in case you wonder). The real information is that RF was condemned by almost all UN countries at the beginning of the war. Explicit support came from N Korea and Iran, the parties that provide weapons to RF.

Like starting illegal wars of aggression and violently enforcing territorial claims that have no legal basis?
You have to understand that the World has more than 200 countries. The western world in its entirety is only a small fraction of the whole world in terms of number of countries, polulation, land size and even economic output.
On Palestinian issues they are absolutely right. Two state solutions
Mutual respect and not autocracy system of politicking
Sounds like jealous ex girlfriends
The key is mutual respect , understanding and support!
If you talk about friends with significant capabilities, I would say China, India, Iran, North Korea, Brazil, Pakistan. 5 of them have nuclear weapons, most of them have abundant natural resources, highly educated population, and/or significant military capability. None of them have big mouth...
Vlad doesn't swing his right arm very much, is he alright? It looks like Xi is shaking Putin's hand more than a hand shake.
Only if you wanted to claim that India, Brazil, South Africa, and others, were countries without stature.
At least find an expert who can pretend to know something.
