Sino-Russian relations, don't want to turn Russia back! Even if the United States and Europe lift sanctions, there is no way, and Russia has stated that it has no discussion with the West to turn its face.
It happened in a statement by Titov, the Russian plenipotentiary for the protection of the rights of entrepreneurs, straightforward and unambiguous. Russia will never turn to the West again, even if the United States and the European Union drop all sanctions and extend a hand of friendship again. This is not just a piece of news, but also a moment when China-Russia relations are moving to a new height.
Let's recall that Russia has always positioned itself as a European country, and even during the Soviet era, they never completely abandoned the illusion of cooperation with the West. However, during the Yeltsin era, there was an intention to move closer to the West, and Putin also tried to develop friendly relations with the West after coming to power. However, Russia's vast territory, strong military power, and aggressive genes have always made the West feel a hint of threat.
Suddenly, a series of events such as NATO's eastward expansion and the Russia-Ukraine conflict made Russia sober up as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it. The West will never be able to accept a strong Russia, and looking east becomes the only option for Russia's development. This dramatic change has sparked heated discussions among many netizens.
Is this true? Russia finally no longer wants to deal with the West! Someone commented in surprise. Indeed, such statements are rare, if not unheard of. Russia has always been part of Europe, and it is surprising that it will not turn to the West this time.
With the passage of time, Sino-Russian relations have gradually warmed up and developed into a strategic partnership in the new era. In 2019, the two countries formalized this partnership, taking their cooperation to new heights. In 2021, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation, China and Russia once again announced the renewal of the treaty, standardizing the general direction of friendship and cooperation between the two countries.
This series of cooperation has aroused heated discussions among netizens: "China and Russia are shoulder to shoulder, what should the United States do?" This is a change in the global landscape! Some netizens sighed excitedly. Indeed, China-Russia strategic cooperation is playing an increasingly important role in global politics, not only stabilizing the regional situation between the two sides, but also having a far-reaching impact on the global political landscape.
In 2022, the Chinese and Russian foreign ministers once again emphasized in the phone call that we should deepen "back-to-back" strategic cooperation and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of both sides and global stability. This news made netizens even more excited: "China and Russia are not only shoulder to shoulder, but also back-to-back, too strong!" Some netizens commented excitedly. Indeed, this close collaboration has made China and Russia more comfortable in dealing with challenges.
And with the passage of time, in 2023, the speaker of the Russian Federation Council said during his visit to China that Sino-Russian relations are not affected by external political actors, and Russia can count on China's firm and reliable shoulder of friendship. This statement has upgraded China-Russia relations from "back-to-back" to "shoulder-to-shoulder", showing a higher level of mutual trust.
At the beginning of the new year, Putin's plenipotentiary once again made a statement, expressing to the Chinese side Russia's firm determination to look east and not to interact with the West. Behind this decision is Russia's confidence in the rise of the East and its optimism about the countries of the Global South. This news has attracted more attention: "Russia looks eastward, this is a slap in the face to the West!" Some netizens commented excitedly.
Some analysts have pointed out that Sino-Russian cooperation can cooperate within the BRICS and the SCO and other mechanisms to prevent the new Cold War mentality and the confrontation of values. This view is widely shared: "Sino-Russian cooperation not only helps both countries, but also has a positive impact on the world." Netizens praised it. Indeed, the cooperation between China and Russia has not only effectively safeguarded the rights and interests of the two countries, but also played a stabilizing role on a global scale.
In addition, Sino-Russian strategic cooperation has also played an irreplaceable balancing role in the stability of the Korean Peninsula. This point has also attracted the attention of many netizens: "Sino-Russian cooperation not only contributes to regional and global stability, but can also play a more important role in hot issues." Some netizens commented with deep feelings.
All in all, Sino-Russian cooperation is promising and promising. Russia's statement of looking to the east is not only a response to the West, but also a sign of confidence in the East. The close cooperation between China and Russia not only effectively safeguards the interests of both sides, but also has a far-reaching impact on global peace and stability. In the future, China and Russia will work together to address more challenges and create a better future.
