Dump Xi Jinping?Russia says Putonghua and Xi talk about Ukrainian military action

In yesterday’s program, we talked about the unfavorable war in Russia and the world‘s severe sanctions on Russia one after another. The CCP government’s public opinion is now quietly turning. Chinese netizens quit and ridicule the CCP for choosing to turn its back on Russia at this time. , is “no filial son before the bed for a long time”.

On February 28, when Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi delivered a speech on the 50th anniversary of the Sino-US “Shanghai Communiqué”, although he normally blamed the United States for the tension in the relationship between the two countries, he also clearly showed his goodwill to the US side, emphasizing that the Taiwan issue is the “Shanghai Communiqué”. At the same time, he said that “since the door of Sino-US relations has been opened, it should not be closed again.”

Wang Yi also shook an olive branch to the United States, saying that he is willing to cooperate with the United States on the “Rebuilding a Beautiful World” initiative, a global infrastructure plan led by the G7, and invited the United States to participate in the CCP’s own “One Belt, One Road” initiative.

Today (March 1), the CCP media “Guangming Daily” even published an article on the front page titled “The General Trend of Win-Win Cooperation in Sino-US Relations is irreversible”, which is more clearly regarded as a show of goodwill to the United States.

Chinese netizens noticed this change in the CCP, but they obviously didn’t buy it. Some netizens said, “It’s really cheap. Seeing Russia’s embarrassed appearance, they immediately embraced the US’s thigh. What about the so-called “war to end war”?

The CCP wants to change its strategy and wants to slip away, and the Russian side has obviously discovered this gesture. On February 28, the WeChat account of the Russian embassy in China posted the content of the conversation between Putin and Xi Jinping on February 25, because it talked about the CCP’s “respect” for Putin’s dispatch of troops, and reiterated “close coordination” and “mutual support”, which attracted attention at once. the attention of the outside world.

The official Russian briefing said Putin had “informed Xi in detail about the decision to recognize the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic and to carry out special military operations aimed at protecting civilians from genocide, as well as ensuring the non-discrimination of the Ukrainian state. The reasons for militarization and denazification.” and “Xi Jinping stressed respect for the actions taken by Russian leaders in the current crisis situation.”

Everyone, please note that February 25th is the day after Russia’s full-scale offensive, not just when Putin said peacekeeping in the two Ukrainian regions. Therefore, the military operations here actually refer to Russia’s attack on Ukraine. A total war of “demilitarization and denazification”. At this time, saying that Xi Jinping respects Putin’s actions clearly wants to show that Xi Jinping supports Russia’s military actions.

The article also said that the two sides assessed the current international situation in general, and reiterated their willingness to further closely coordinate and support each other in the United Nations and other multilateral platforms. They noted that the use of “illegal sanctions” to “achieve the self-interested goals of individual countries” must never be allowed. In light of this, the leaders of the two countries emphasized the importance of strengthening bilateral pragmatic cooperation, taking into account the results of their talks in Beijing on February 4.

As for what the two sides talked about on February 4, and whether it was related to this Ukraine affair, the Russian embassy’s report did not say. However, the two sides emphasized cooperation and condemned sanctions, which further demonstrated their support for Russia’s all-out offensive and their common willingness to fight international sanctions.

Obviously, during the talks on February 25, the official website of the Russian embassy published this article, which was not noticed at the time. On February 28, the official WeChat account of the Russian Embassy was published again, which meant beating the CCP. In particular, the talks between the two sides on February 4th seem to imply that there is still some private transaction between the CCP and Russia.

Therefore, netizens commented, “Russia has long been ready to back it up! This idiot!” Some netizens also posted pictures of the idiom “being embarrassed”, alluding to the fact that the CCP and Russia often do bad things together. Another person said: “Public President directly pulled Xi Jinping to the back.” “A discerning person can see at a glance how much Russia wants to have a team. It has been abandoned by the whole world. If it wants to deadlift China, it is a dog jumping over the wall.”

From here, we can clearly see that the CCP’s choice and attitude towards this war are inconsistent with the views of quite a few Chinese netizens, which is why we see that the CCP is more and more afraid to let go of online comments , because occasionally let go of the often big rollover.

Why do we say that at this time, the reissue of old Russian texts is a clear indication that we will continue to bind the CCP? Because also on February 28, the Russian Satellite News Agency reported that Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a Russian TV program that “China is a friend of Russia.” He also said, “Look at the reaction of the world‘s great powers, countries that do not call themselves giants, but are really giants, especially China.”

Of course, after such remarks were posted on Weibo in mainland China, there was a large wave of small pink support, but there were also quite a few netizens who objected, saying “you don’t come here”, “I’m sorry if you die. Your country is not on the list of old friends of the Chinese people, so turn left when you go out”, “Oh my God, this pit is dug! We panda bears eat bamboo, your polar bears eat seals, we are not bears all the way.”

“We are neutral, thank you! I hope Russia will negotiate with Ukraine to resolve the dispute and bring peace to the Ukrainian people.” “It’s a shame to be friends with such a person, sanction Putin, and support Ukraine.” “Don’t, you pierced the sky. Say this, Hungary is your brother.”

We have seen that the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine are now inconclusive, and Russia continues to press the border on the battlefield. Today, it attacked the TV tower in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and also violently attacked Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine, attacking a civilian. Area. The Wall Street Journal’s commentary said it was an attempt to weaken the morale of Ukraine’s resistance and rekindle its slowing military advance.

On March 2, the two sides will continue to negotiate, so Russia’s onslaught at this time should be hoping to add more weight to the negotiation.

Wang Yi Talks with Ukrainian Foreign Minister

Today, we saw that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart, saying that China is “extremely concerned” about the harm suffered by Ukrainian civilians, saying that China has always respected the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, and called on Ukraine and Russia to “pass the negotiate to find a solution to the problem,” and China supports all constructive international efforts that are conducive to a “political solution.”

What about Ukraine? Foreign Minister Kouleba said that Uzbekistan is willing to strengthen communication with China and expects China to “mediate for the realization of the ceasefire”.

This time, the CCP used a relatively tough stance since the outbreak of the war. While condemning the war to the Ukrainian foreign minister, it continued to be cautious in the briefing and vaguely expressed its respect for the territorial integrity of all countries. However, one thing is obvious, and that is that the CCP is trying to change itself from the financier and supporter of the war to play the role of mediator.

Of course it can be done? I’m sure everyone will be watching. Today, there is an important piece of news worth sharing. The French province of Northern France announced recently that they had planned to cooperate with China to hold an exhibition of paintings by the famous French painter Matisse in Beijing and Shanghai, and now it will be postponed indefinitely. The main reason is to consider the “geopolitical crisis” of Russia’s declaration of war on Ukraine, and the “political relationship between Beijing and Moscow”.

You always have to pay back when you come out. No matter what, what the CCP does will make the world see the CCP’s face more and more clearly.

Ukrainian President’s speech touched the world, what is the way out for the dispute between Russia and Ukraine?

Yesterday, we mentioned that after the EU handed Ukraine an olive branch, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed the application to join the EU. Today (March 1), Zelensky delivered a speech to the European Parliament via video, which moved the present MPs and many netizens.

Let’s take a look at two excerpts from his speech.

Zelensky said: “We are fighting for our land and our freedom. Although all the cities of our country are now blocked, no one can enter and interfere with our freedom and our country. Please believe me, today ( Every square in Ukraine, whatever they are called, from today they will be called Freedom Square, in every city of our country.”

“No one is going to break us, we are strong, we are Ukrainian, we want to see our children alive, and I think that’s a fair wish.”

He said the previous day Russian troops had killed six Ukrainian children. But Ukrainians are still very motivated to “fight for our rights, our freedom, our lives” and “fight to be equal members of Europe”. “I believe it is our strength that we are showing you today, and that with us the European Union will be stronger. Without you, Ukraine would be alone, without a doubt.”

He also directly called on the EU, “We have shown that we (Ukrainians) can be like you, and it is time for you to show that you will not abandon us and will be with us.”

We noticed that Zelensky received a standing ovation from the audience before and after his speech. During his speech, the simultaneous interpreters choked several times. It’s really touching. This is not his personal sensation, because the whole world has seen it. Many people have persuaded him to leave for safety and even the country many times, but he did not leave. Such a spirit of seeing death has touched countless Ukrainians. This has also become an important spiritual motivation for Ukraine to defeat Putin’s blitz this time.

Therefore, many netizens also said that this war made an actor clown a hero, and also made leaders of some countries expose the essence of clowns and actors.

The reason behind the Russia-Ukraine incident

Of course, one of the features of our show is that while telling the true story of the development of an event, we explore the reasons behind the event and the way out in the future. Let’s discuss it today.

In last Friday’s show, I talked about how the CCP provoked and condoned Russia’s war, the selfishness and stupidity of the leaders of the United States and the European Union, and Putin’s impulsiveness (the anger at the crown), which together led to the outbreak of the war. He also said that Ukraine has helped the CCP to strengthen its military force and enhance its military power for 20 years in the past 30 years… So, in fact, everyone has problems… Everyone noticed that I don’t want to just talk about black and white in one incident, but want to think more comprehensively question.

In fact, many people do not know that after the disintegration of the Soviet communist regime, Russia also actively moved closer to NATO. Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and even the strongman Vladimir Putin dropped his stature three times, in 2001, 2004 and 2008, to demand membership in NATO. However, because those people in NATO were all cultivated in the Kissinger era with a diplomatic mindset and a global mindset to look at the relationship between the United States, the CCP and Russia, etc., they did not accept Russia in the end. At the same time, the United States and other countries have continued to strengthen cooperation with the CCP, and have given massive blood transfusions to the CCP.

Russia, which has broken away from communism, is actually not completely comparable to the Soviet era. However, we have seen that it is difficult for many people to jump out of this thinking. Only in 2017, after Trump (Trump) was elected, did he try to unite with Russia to fight the Communist Party. However, it was not completely done, and when Biden came to power, he continued to return to the old path of attacking Russia and moderately easing the CCP.

So, this is actually a misstep. Forcing Putin to cooperate with the CCP is actually a loss to the world.

So, how should the Ukrainian crisis be resolved?

Today, the WeChat account in mainland China released the solution proposed by Tang Shiping, a professor at the School of International Relations of Fudan University, on the Ukraine crisis on January 8, 2009. I think it is worth sharing.

Professor Tang Shiping also means that most elites in the EU/NATO and Russia still use traditional geopolitical logic to think and are blinded by ethnocentrism, fear, greed and even hostility. Both sides blame each other, and a real tragedy is brewing. And the point of conflict is Ukraine. Europe is silent, and leading U.S. politicians have repeatedly declared that Ukraine will one day join NATO. Russia, on the other hand, has made it clear that it will not accept Ukraine into NATO.

So, what to do in this situation? He believes that Ukraine should remain neutral and can join the European Union, but not NATO. Otherwise, the two sides will usher in a “cold peace” or even a war.

This is realistic, because the EU is a political and economic bloc, and although there are considerations of military defense member states being attacked, more consideration is a comprehensive interest, while NATO is a purely military bloc, it is easy to hope An imaginary enemy appeared, and it was possible to create an enemy without an enemy, showing his importance.

So will Putin accept this plan? Tang Shiping’s judgment is that Putin is a typical Russian realist, completely rooted in traditional geopolitical thinking. He wants a great Russia that is respected by other nations, including the United States and the European Union; but he has no ambition to make Russia a Third Reich. He believes that Russia under Putin has not tore up the ABM Treaty, abolished the Kyoto Protocol, or invaded Iraq. It just wants to regain some prestige, and some respect for its “sphere of influence”.

Tang Shiping also believes that Ukraine can refer to Vietnam’s neutral position. For the past 20 years or so, Vietnam has been trying to strike a delicate “middle ground” between China and other external powers, namely the United States, without declaring neutrality.

Of course, we saw that Russia, Ukraine, the United States, etc. did not do that, and then we saw that the Ukrainian war broke out today.

If we think calmly, we may still be able to ask, what would have happened if NATO had accepted Russia’s accession instead of being an enemy, and if Biden had continued Trump’s alliance with Russia and the Communist Party?

Of course, history may have been irreversible, but we can still think.
