The Russian-Ukrainian war has been fought for more than 600 days, and a very interesting situation is that there are always some Western politicians who accuse China of aiding Russia, but before the Chinese side can clarify, the top level of the White House always stands up for us as soon as possible, saying: "China absolutely not." "Isn't it interesting for the United States to clarify for China?
In the past two days, Nicholas Burns, the US ambassador to China, has come out to speak for us again. "China absolutely supports Russia, that's right, but China won't give them **," he said. And, in order to convince people, Burns also emphasized: We pay attention every day and find nothing.
Americans have always had the ability to "turn black into white", but in this case, they did not do so. And the reason why they want to help China tell the truth is not for our good, but to reduce the pressure on themselves. As long as China does not have military aid to Russia, the Pentagon will not have to fight with China, which can save them a lot of trouble now.
However, it was only after Burns said this that they realized that in fact, although China does not provide military aid to Russia, there is still a lot of cooperation between China and Russia that worries them. On December 15th, China and Russia had a big plan.
On December 15, the high-level meeting of China and Russia held a meeting on energy cooperation in Beijing, and China's Deputy Premier Ding Xuexiang and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak made a detailed plan for the focus of the next Sino-Russian cooperation. Moreover, at the meeting, China and Russia announced that the two countries will cooperate in the development of their own alternative energy sources, in particular, hydrogen production technologies.
We know that the amount of China and Russia has exceeded 200 billion US dollars in 2023, and one-third of the amount comes from the energy sector. Next, Russia wants to take another step forward and increase the amount of oil to China. Putin really plans to eat enough in China!
As for whether China can eat it?This is not something for Russia to consider. Because in recent years, China's demand has been increasing, and Russian oil is cheap, which has benefited China a lot. Otherwise, savvy Indians would not have kept buying Russian oil. And once China and Russia can rapidly improve their hydrogen production technology, then our dependence on other countries will be greatly reduced in the future.
Of course, another important point of Vice Premier Novak's visit to China this time is that he wants to talk about the "Power of Siberia 2." At present, China and Russia have not signed a final agreement, and there is obviously no good communication on this matter. But we note that this time Novak mentions for the first time:It is possible to depart directly from Russia along the "Far East" route, or via Mongolia.
Previously, some commentators believed that the reason why China never signed the agreement was that it felt that the point of passing through Mongolia was still up for discussion. Does the fact that the Russian side is now saying this mean that they have figured it out? If so, is the finalization of the "Power of Siberia 2" just around the corner?
To sum up, as the US ambassador said, although China did not provide military aid to Russia, it did allow Russia to gain a lot from it. In this regard, Putin should also be content. In the next step, if they really want to go one step further with China, then China will have to show more sincerity in terms of hydrogen production technology and "Power of Siberia 2". Business is business, brothers are brothers, Russians should understand this.
