The prospects for Sino-Russian cooperation are promising, the two sides have undergone qualitative changes, and Russia is beginning to look forward to cooperation in 2024, and at the same time, the real losers have surfaced. What qualitative changes have taken place? And who are the real losers?
According to data released by the General Administration of Customs of China in 2023, China and Russia have made significant progress, exceeding $200 billion in 2023 alone, achieving the expected target ahead of schedule.
Judging from the current data, China and Russia have grown rapidly, and China has been at the top of the list of Russia's partner countries for 14 consecutive years since 2010. Therefore, Zhelokhovtsev, director of the First Asian Department of Russia, believes that China and Russia have a promising future and are expected to continue to grow in 2024.
There is an opinion that Zhelokhovtsev's ** is a sure win. First, there are more and more Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation projects, and both sides have a strong demand for each other's products; Russia mainly imports Chinese products in the fields of vehicles, aircraft, and ships, while China's imports of Russian products are mainly concentrated in natural resources such as oil and natural gas. From an economic point of view, the two sides are highly complementary and can be described as win-win cooperation.
From a political point of view, the normal operation of Sino-Russian relations is conducive to the stability of the world pattern. Because the hegemonism pursued by the United States always regards China and Russia as adversaries, it is racking its brains to suppress China's development on the one hand, and providing military assistance to Ukraine against Russia behind its back. In such an international situation, cooperation between China and Russia can avoid a situation in which the United States is the dominant power and thus contain the strategic energy of the United States.
In addition, Zhelokhovtsev also stressed that Sino-Russian cooperation is not only growing day by day, but at the same time, the "qualitative transformation" is also gradually underway, and the scope of cooperation has become more extensive and the fields of cooperation have become more in-depth.
It is reported that with the opening of the Chinese market to the import of Russian agricultural products, Russian grain also accounts for half of China's imports of Russian products, second only to energy. It can be seen that the proportion of grain exports in Sino-Russian cooperation is an important turning point, indicating the expansion of Sino-Russian cooperation.
In addition, the Russian diplomat noted that the two countries will expand and strengthen energy, financial and industrial cooperation by improving logistics connectivity. It is not difficult to see from the remarks of Russian diplomats that the strategic dependence of the two sides on each other is accelerating.
The friendly relations and stable development between China and Russia have also attracted the attention and even dissatisfaction of some Western countries such as the United States, because China advocates an independent foreign policy of peace, which is in sharp contrast to the hegemonic policy of Western countries, and the energy provided by Russia has also made it more difficult for Western countries to restrict China in the energy field.
It can be seen that in these years of ** war, the real losers have surfaced. In the ** war that lasted for more than five years, although the United States set up obstacles everywhere, it still did not stop the pace of China's rapid development, but Europe, not only completely reduced to the vassals of the United States, but also was crazy "bloodletting" by the United States, harvesting wave after wave!
It can be seen that as the forms of development between China and Russia become more and more abundant and close, the cooperative relations between the two countries are not only conducive to the development of their own economies, but may also develop to the height of strategic coordination in the future, are conducive to breaking the monopoly and hegemony of the West, and are conducive to the promotion and establishment of world multipolarization.
