Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu's sudden and urgent return to China less than a day after his visit to China has sparked widespread concern. This unusual act seems to indicate a major emergency in Russia. It is reported that Vladimir Putin of Russia has urgently convened an important meeting to await Shoigu's report on the results of the special military operation and his visit to China. Despite the rumors that the West has attacked Putin for health problems, this is not the reason for Shoigu's urgent return.
In fact, Shoigu's change of itinerary may be related to the events of the riots in the Russian Republic of Dagestan. As a result of the riots, more than 20 people were injured and 150 participants** were injured. This incident not only involves sensitive ethnic and religious issues, but may also trigger internal unrest in Russia. Russia accuses Ukraine and Western intelligence agencies of instigating the riots through social media, which further highlights the far-reaching impact of the international situation on the internal affairs of various countries.
In this emergency, Putin demanded that the heads of regions and departments take the necessary actions to maintain harmony among the various ethnic groups and religions of Russia. His directive was not only intended to quell the unrest immediately, but also to ensure long-term stability in the country. This sudden incident demonstrates Russia's urgency in dealing with internal and external pressures.
The specific purpose of Shoigu's visit to China is to strengthen strategic cooperation between China and Russia and deepen bilateral cooperation in many fields. His visit, which was planned to last several days, was unfortunately interrupted by the domestic emergency. Despite this, the two sides signed a number of important cooperation documents in various fields such as investment, energy, science and technology, education and culture. The results of this visit, despite the impact of unexpected events, still reflect the close relations and willingness of China and Russia to cooperate. The riots in the Republic of Dagestan are a combination of many causes. Past experience has shown that socio-economic problems in the region, such as corruption, unemployment, and policy dissatisfaction, can be triggers for the population. The reason why this incident has attracted great attention at the national level is that it could be used by external forces to incite wider instability, especially in the context of the current tense international political environment.
Putin's emergency meeting shows Russia's serious attitude towards handling domestic and foreign affairs. The agenda of the conference revolved around national policy, economic development, social reform, and international relations. Putin's leadership style has always been known for his decisive and swift decision-making, and this incident has tested his leadership in dealing with crises. As can be seen from this incident, how the international situation affects domestic politics is a complex and delicate issue. Although Russia faces external pressures and challenges, it must also deal with domestic stability and development. In the era of globalization, the internal affairs of any country may be affected by international factors. Therefore, it is also important for China to be cautious about possible Western strategies. China needs to defend its own interests while keeping a clear head in the international situation so as not to be drawn into unnecessary conflicts.
To sum up, Shoigu's emergency return and Putin's quick response show Russia's ability to deal with emergencies. Although the influence of external factors on Russia's internal affairs cannot be ignored, Russia's determination to maintain national stability and development is obvious. In the current international political environment, such attitudes and actions of Russia undoubtedly have an important exemplary role.
