"China helps Russia to finance war" - political scientist Vladimir Fesenko

China is a reliable and powerful buyer of Russian oil. In his "peaceful initiative" there are no points on the territorial integrity or withdrawal of Russian troops. The PRC condemns aggression and at the same time friends with the aggressor, helping him wage war. China has long avoided interference with international conflicts. Now Beijing is increasingly calling for peace talks in the wars, in particular in Ukraine.

However, whether this is the desire of peace, because in its "peaceful initiative" for Ukraine supported by Brazil, Switzerland and other countries, the territorial integrity of Ukraine or the withdrawal of Russian troops is not mentioned, as provided for by President Vladimir Zelensky's peacefully. Against this background, experts in the German newspaper Welt emphasize that China and Russia associates not only economic cooperation, but also "deep friendship".

Focus analyzed the Russian-Chinese friendship, which enhances the funding of the war in the material "not only oil. Where Russia will take money for war in 2025". The Ukrainian political scientist, chairman of the Board of the Center for Applied Political Studies "Penta" Volodymyr Fesenko agrees with Western experts on friendship of the PRC and the Russian Federation and adds that it has not now strengthened, not during the Russian-Ukrainian war.

"These states have bilateral relations in different spheres, not only in the economy, but also in the military-technical industry. And the main basis of this cooperation, except for economic benefits, especially for China, and now for the Russian Federation, is the presence of a common enemy, and It is the USA, "Fesenko's focus explained.

There are bilateral relations in the PRC and the Russian Federation in various fields, not only in the economy, but also in the military-technical industry, the political scientist also noted, if for the Russian Federation now the US is a systemic opponent, in almost all areas, given the sanctions, then with China a different situation with China. . "China is a competitor of the United States in a geopolitical sense.

However, there is an interdependence between China and the United States: large volumes of trade that are larger than the Russian Federation. This is why the crisis of payments, which has become a big problem for the Russians. Because they do not want to fall under sanctions, "Fesenko explained. At the same time, the political scientist called the situation with the relations of the PRC and the Russian Federation not so unambiguous.

In his opinion, China, as Turkey and India, in particular, their large companies operating in the western markets, try not to violate anti -Russian sanctions imposed by the West. However, if the companies of these countries earn in Russia, they only work with the Russian Federation.

"For them, sanctions on the part of the event are not so scary because even if they receive these secondary sanctions (not against the state but against specific companies), then it is not scary for them - they are not working in the US or Europe. So partnership between The Russian Federation and China are and will be while there is a contradiction from the United States, "Fesenko said.

The partnership between the Russian Federation and China is and will be while there is a contradiction from the United States to the United States, they adhere to a balanced and flexible policy. "America is trying to cooperate with individual countries. But the only post strategy, in my opinion, is not dominated by the United States. that some of them are closer to China, and even the Russian Federation.
