Bad news for Russia. What became clear after Putin's meeting and Xi Jinping
The main internal factor for the leader of China is October and his desire for the third time to be elected to the post of the head of the CCP, and, in fact, the president of the country. To do this, he hardly needs some serious turbulence in the internal situation, and, moreover, in the international arena. Therefore, he is not now interested in sharp movements in one way or the other side at home and abroad. Video Day for Russia is a bad news.
Because this means that in addition to public manifestations of solidarity on the part of Beijing Russia does not shine. I think that even without a warning from the US, China understands perfectly: to impose on Putin's military adventure for him will be a completely foolish and inappropriate step. Therefore, China in relations with Russia will wait for Putin to kneel to Si Jinping and ask him for economic vassals. Yes, in fact, it is already happening.
When Putin was cut off the western market, he has Chinese, well, a little wider-the South Asian, but 90% of this market is China. And in fact, China is already dictating Putin's conditions. Now, in Moscow, in the truest sense of the word, they are screaming from the EU decided to regulate prices for Russian gas and oil. But China with India is already doing it. They installed for Putin the top bar that will not pay. And Putin agrees. Oil today is sold to China and India with discounts of up to 30%.
So Putin has nothing to expect from China positive in this regard. Well, even more so - the US and Europe were warned by China that it is not necessary to pretend that nothing is happening in Ukraine. This is a bloody war, and it will not work out behind the fence. Moreover, it will not be possible to help Putin. So China is quietly silent.
You see, Xi Jinping has found a "diplomatic" disease in order not to go for a common dinner, which is more than a speaking diplomatic signal that he will not play in these games at least. Well, since Putin's economic reserves are getting smaller and smaller, it should be thought that no positive changes for Russia in China will take place in a few months. Therefore, I think that Ukrainian interest in this regard is in no way threatened.
Additional problems for Ukraine as a result of this meeting, it seems, did not arise. On the contrary: Russia remains more and more in solitude, in self -isolation. Well, this is the price that Putin was warned. He didn't believe it. Now it's time to pay for accounts. By the way, before going to Samarkand, the Chinese leader visited Kazakhstan to meet with President Kasim Zhomart Tokaev. This is an additional element that Putin has clearly not cheered up.
This means that where Putin considered himself a master, namely - in the post -Soviet space, he has a very powerful competitor who will dictate his conditions. And it is no coincidence that they said in China that they would be guarantors of Kazakhstan's territorial integrity. And this is a direct answer to the crazy politicians in Moscow, who for more than a month say that Kazakhstan is an artificial state, that its northern areas are "true Russian land" and another delusion.
