In recent years, the United States and Western countries have exerted tremendous pressure on Russia on many fronts, while also taking a tough stance against China, frequently intervening in Taiwan Strait affairs and deploying military forces in China's waters. Under such circumstances, China and Russia have worked closely together to resist hegemonic pressure. However, after seeing the strong influence of close cooperation between China and Russia, the United States and Western countries began to create rumors to undermine the relationship between the two countries. Recently, the G7 issued a statement at a meeting with Ukrainian leaders, asking China to put pressure on Russia, in an apparent attempt to sow discord between China and Russia.
At the same time, the U.S. Congress vetoed the military aid bill for Ukraine, and some analysts believe that the United States may demonstrate its "fair treatment" position towards various countries by giving up its support for Ukraine, so as to continue to put pressure on China and Russia. If China does not put pressure on Russia as requested by the US side, it may be accused of being a "state sponsor of terrorism" and subject to global pressure.
After Ukraine loses its ability to confront Russia, the US side will seek sufficient benefits through this move, even if it wants to abandon Ukraine. This reflects the most real situation of the US allies in recent years. China and Russia understand that the United States will not abandon its strategy of sowing discord between China and Russia.
The Russian ambassador to China previously issued a clear statement on China-Russia relations, emphasizing that close ties between China and Russia are essential for global and regional stability. According to the latest data, the amount of China and Russia exceeded 200 billion US dollars for the first time, becoming a milestone in the relations between the two countries. Russia has also developed a number of plans to deepen cooperation with China, and is building two railway lines to China, with a total investment of hundreds of billions. These data have effectively smashed the conspiracy and trickery of the United States and the West.
It is no secret that the economic situation in Russia is quite grim due to the comprehensive sanctions imposed by the West against Russia. Although Russia makes some profits from the sale of resources, most of the money is used to support military operations against Ukraine. However, it is striking that, despite the difficult situation, Russia has invested considerable money in deepening cooperation with China. This suggests that Russia seems to be pinning its future on close cooperation with China, and that it is unlikely that Russia will take a confrontational stance with China, let alone a blatant provocation from the United States and the West, even if China is slightly arrogant about it.
Despite the Western adage that says, "There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests," the current convergence of interests and threats between China and Russia makes it possible to cooperate almost unreservedly. However, as China's economic development continues to accelerate, China is expected to become a global economic leader in the future. Once this happens, Western countries are likely to adjust their strategic stance and offer Russia lucrative benefits in order to weaken its close cooperation with China. Faced with this possibility, China must develop a corresponding response strategy in advance to guard against potential variables.
