Before Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow, Putin published an editorial in the Chinese press, where he set the framework for the talks, something that Xi also did simultaneously and in a complementary way, but in the Russian press. The agenda set by the two editorials was followed in the Russian-Chinese negotiations, with many of the agreements being publicly communicated, but the really important ones predictably left out of the media. However, a special element appeared in Putin’s editorial, which was not commented on. He evoked the old friendship between him and Xi Jinping, noting that it began even when Xi was not the president and leader of China, in Moscow, when Putin received the Chinese and “they discussed fruitful business for the two countries” ‘. This reminded me of comments in the international press 10 years ago that suggested consistent support for Putin to access Xi’s power, somewhat along the lines of the Russian supporting Trump to become US president.
In last few weeks’ GOLD FM broadcasts, Aurelian Popa, a Chinese speaker and avid reader of the Beijing media, revealed to listeners that Putin and Xi are at their 40th (!) bilateral official face-to-face meeting, with every occasion declaring not only their intentions to develop and strengthen the Russia-China partnership, but also the personal friendship that binds them, and which they have proven to each other and to the public through decorations and state honors, long discussions between four eyes and without assistance, and festive meals where they cooked together traditional dishes. And on the occasion of the recent meeting in Moscow, the two reconfirmed the LIMITLESS PARTNERSHIP they built between Russia and China, but they also directed a final scene that evokes the friendship between them as the basis of future geopolitical developments. At the departure of the Chinese leader, on the steps of the Kremlin, Xi said to Putin, “Dear friend, I am watching the change in the world as it has not been in the last hundred years, and we will lead this change together”, the care of the Russian leader he answers simply and clearly, “I agree!”
Therefore, the limitless partnership between Russia and China, a complex concept that has been reached and will be implemented based on the friendship between Putin and Xi, is the one that will vector the next great geopolitical movements. The USA will not know how to respond to such a challenge, primarily because the idea of partnership with other states no longer exists at the level of the Americans, they are getting used to managing their external relations based on the hegemonic state gained after the collapse of the USSR, only on the basis of some impositions, hidden under the false phrase of strategic partnerships. Moreover, friendship is a concept long forgotten in the US and the Western world, ground down and then destroyed by cynicism resulting from economic interests and greed. The valences and benefits of friendship, especially between two political leaders, can therefore no longer be understood by the cardboard and robotic leaders of the Biden&Company type, and those who assist them are equally unprepared to explain to them how a “partnership without limits built on friendship” can manifest, as is the case today between Russia and China, respectively Putin and Xi.
The Eurasian world will respond to the Western transhumanist offensive through the exact implementation of some humanistic concepts, such as partnership and friendship, and here will be the specific difference of the current war between the two worlds. If Russia and China were not so well prepared today from a military, technological, economic point of view, assisted in their politics by the most valuable geopoliticians, probably the prognosis of the outcome of this battle between the worlds would be one favorable to the West, cynicism and cruelty militarily and technologically well equipped having proven in history that they can be unbeatable. Precisely because of this, my prediction is that it will be the other way around, namely that our Western world, emptied of valuable human resources in leadership, drained of traditions, of innovative and productive ideas, of cultural-religious landmarks, is heading towards a great defeat which the many, unable to understand, will witness perplexed and tragic. For the others, who understand, there is only bitter intellectual satisfaction, well expressed by the cynical Chinese wish, “may you (not) be given to live in interesting times”!
