Belarus ** Lukashenko visited China twice in 10 months, which made countries around the world wonder: what are the major cooperation matters between China and Belarus?
The outside world has been speculating about this meeting, what will be discussed?So what is Lukashenko discussing in Beijing?
The Chinese communiqué has already revealed the answer. The Chinese leader said that China and Belarus are important forces involved in the reform and construction of the global governance system. China is ready to strengthen coordination and cooperation with Belarus in multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, promote the implementation of the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
In layman's terms, in Beijing, the parties discussed what place Belarus will occupy in the "system of global governance". This is tantamount to China treating Belarus as a great power.
If we look at the map, we can see that Belarus is actually a small landlocked country, with an area of only 20It is 70,000 square kilometers and has a population of only 9.2 million. But location is more sensitive. Belarus is bordered by Russia to the east, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to the west and northwest, and Ukraine to the south.
With the Russian-Ukrainian war raging for almost two years, the status and role of Belarus has become one of the focuses of global attention. In particular, the closest alliance between Russia and Belarus and the nuclear sharing treaty have greatly enhanced the international status of Belarus.
Therefore, China's close interaction with Belarus cannot be viewed in isolation from the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is worth noting that Lithuania is one of the most prominent anti-China countries today, and it is also the first card created by the United States to create a "domino effect for Taiwan". This is even more reminiscent.
Therefore, the imminent accession of Belarus to the SCO is important, but even more so is its accession to the BRICS. Belarus has officially applied for BRICS membership in July this year. This is also one of the key issues of Lukashenko's visit to China.
Linked to Putin's visit to the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are both "associate members" of the BRICS, and Belarus is also an "associate member" of the BRICS.
Therefore, Lukashenko's visit to China at the same time as Putin's visit to the Middle East is worth rejuvenating: Is this a consensual linkage between China and Russia?
In a conversation with Lukashenko, the Chinese leader revealed an important detail: "China and Belarus are important forces involved in the reform and construction of the global governance system. ”
Judging by the BRICS and SCO camps, Belarus will become a "breakout" country embedded in the three Baltic states, Poland and Ukraine.
Of course, it is equally important for Belarus to join the in-depth cooperation of the Belt and Road Initiative. Belarus is one of the first countries to join the Belt and Road Initiative, and is a staunch supporter, active participant and beneficiary of the Belt and Road Initiative. After ten years of development, the China-Belarus Industrial Park is known as the Pearl of the Belt and Road Initiative. In addition to the China-Belarus Industrial Park, the two countries have jointly implemented a production base for Geely Automobile in Belarus. Belarus has played a good role as a model in the Belt and Road Initiative.
It can also be said that when Belarus achieves remarkable results through the Belt and Road Initiative, it will become a model for the three Baltic states, Ukraine and Poland, which is conducive to allowing these countries to compare themselves, whether to follow the United States to engage in confrontation, or to join the "Belt and Road" is more conducive to development
As for the role of Belarus in the BRICS and the SCO, it may turn out to be very special and much more important than the western part of the transport corridor. This country is located on the border and buffer zone between two worlds - Russia and the collective West. At the same time, Belarus is stable and confident, and its experience is important for the SCO countries.
Russia's ** election has begun, the United States ** has also begun, Zelensky, whose term is about to expire, in order to continue to be **, refused to hold elections on the grounds of war, trying to keep his ** position in this way. Such a situation will also affect the Russian-Ukrainian war and affect the relations between Belarus, Russia and China.
In particular, Ukraine is no longer powerless, Western economic and military aid is shrinking, the United States is running out of funds for aiding Ukraine, and Ukraine's defeat is inevitable. Under such circumstances, the relationship between China, Russia and Belarus is obviously very important, and it is an important relationship that affects the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Under such circumstances, Lukashenko's visit to China and Putin's visit to the Middle East are not the actions of "reform of the global governance system" as China claims?The answer is clear.
