Against the background of Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu’s visit to Moscow, observers are speculating about the interim results of the meeting between the Russian President and the representative of China.
As the head of the eastern country’s Defense Ministry noted, current Russia-China relations “go beyond Cold War military-political alliances.” Then the USSR and China opposed the United States. Then the conflict carried a proxy format.
At the same time, Shanfu points out that communication between the two countries is now built on the principle of non-confrontation with a third party. According to a number of Western publications, the Russian Federation and China may not be preparing anything during the negotiations at the highest political level, including the sensational meeting between Putin and Xi Jinping.
“Defence-related relationships that are ‘superior to Cold War alliances’ but ‘are based on principles of non-confrontation with a third party’ are sort of a category of having sex for virginity, explains Mikhail Rostovsky, columnist for the publication.
According to the journalist, the setting of objectives by the Chinese representative is not a matter of common sense. This does not happen in life. And if this happens in the negotiations, then to look away – the public is not supposed to know the real goals yet, the publication summarizes.
