China's neutral stance has sparked some controversy in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Some argue that if we don't express a clear position, other countries won't stand firm behind us. In the face of pressure from the United States and Western countries, we need a strong ally like Russia.
Recently, Zhang Hongliang, a professor and commentator at Minzu University, expressed his views. In his opinion, instead of maintaining neutrality, we should support the struggle of the people of the Middle East against imperialist aggression and Russia's military actions to defend it. He noted that choosing a neutral position is more dangerous than choosing either side, and could turn Russia, the Middle East, NATO, and the United States into our enemies. Therefore, we must abandon neutrality and support the people of the Middle East and the people of Russia.
Although I understand Professor Zhang Hongliang's point of view, our country has indeed changed recently on relevant issues. For example, on the issue of the Red Sea, we call on the Yemeni armed forces to stop attacking US and British ships, and we also call on Israel to stop bombing the Gaza Strip. As a powerful country, we have the most powerful army in the world, we have a huge steel production, and we have a voice in the international community.
From the point of view of ordinary people, if we choose a side, we will become a significant force in the battle. The Chinese people have experienced a hundred years of repression by the West, and we should strive for true dignity. However, as a mature politician, it would be right to choose not to take sides. As a powerful power, China has maintained a position that does not disclose its position, making it difficult for both the United States and Russia to guess our cards. In the current scorching war situation, China's support will be the key to victory.
In order to compete for China's support, the two sides must make concessions, and China can only wait to sell for the best solution for itself. In this way, we will remain flexible and decide our position based on interests, rather than being forced to choose a side.
In this conflict, China's neutral position is undoubtedly motivated by concern for Russia and friendly relations with Ukraine and Russia. However, among the different voices, we need to carefully weigh the pros and cons and find the best option for our own interests. After all, China, as a powerful country, our position will have an important impact on the entire war situation.
