Russia is paying special attention to Sino-US relations. On December 28, the Chinese and U.S. militaries received good news, followed by a kind reminder from Russia. Senior Colonel Wu Qian, spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, announced in response to a reporter's question in the afternoon of the same day that the telephone call between the Chinese and US militaries had achieved positive and constructive results. It is also the Pentagon's response to long-standing calls for the resumption of high-level communication between the Chinese and US militaries. At the same time, news also came from the Kremlin that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov once again expressed his stance on the Taiwan Strait issue. Lavrov is highly respected in Russia, and his statements to some extent represent the opinion of Putin himself. In an interview, Lavrov bluntly stated: "The United States will never abandon the method of solving problems by force."
His reasons for this conclusion are: First, the intentions of the United States, which Russia knows all about;The second is the latest military budget released by the Pentagon;The third is the readiness of the US military in Taiwan and around the Taiwan Strait. In addition to Lavrov, the director general of the International Affairs Committee, Kortunov, also put forward sharp views on the possible confrontation between China and the United States. He believes that if a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, the impact on the world economy will greatly exceed that of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He pointed out that the United States is unwilling and unable to openly confront China and Russia at the same time, because under the current circumstances, such actions will deal a devastating blow to the United States. At the same time, he believes that China is not willing to participate in such a confrontation at present. About this, Putin himself probably knows more deeply than he does.
Earlier, when a reporter asked Putin, Putin said that Chinese mainland will inevitably complete reunification, but now there is no need to use force, because reunification can be achieved by relying on strong economic strength. However, judging by these reminders from the Russian side, it seems that they underestimated the level of sobriety of the Chinese side. Although China is willing to communicate with the US side, this does not mean that China has strong trust in the US side, especially given the Pentagon's recent series of actions. Recently, on the one hand, the Pentagon plans to restart the Tinian Air Base, which is 160 kilometers north of **, and on the other hand, it is cooperating with Japan to promote the relocation of the Futenma base, which completely does not take into account the ** of the people of Okinawa. China is well aware of these actions and has officially issued a warning to all countries in the region on December 28 to join China in maintaining a high level of vigilance.
Therefore, the Russian side should trust China more, especially when it comes to communication between the Chinese and American militaries. As the Russian side said, China is not willing to go to war because it is not conducive to world peace and will have a serious impact on the world economy. However, it is clear that the Chinese side will be prepared for what it needs to do. After all, the Chinese's style of doing things has always been to strike later, salute first and then soldier, and be lenient with the enemy.
