Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand·
Xi Jinping wrote an article in Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta ahead of his 4-day trip to Russia (he does this whenever he visits a country). There are quite a few significant statements in there. Probably the main one is when he writes that "80 years ago, just forces all over the world, including China and the Soviet Union, united to fight a common enemy and triumphed over fascism. Today, 80 years later, unilateralism, hegemony and acts of bullying are inflicting severe harm, and humanity once again stands at a crossroads. Where to go next, what to choose: solidarity or division, dialogue or confrontation, universal gain or a zero-sum game?" No brownie point for guessing who he's referring to... And frankly, he isn't wrong. He adds that "it is important to firmly defend the post-war international order", and in particular "the creation of the United Nations" which he says "was perhaps the most important decision made by the world community at the end of World War II." On the UN he writes: "The more complex the international situation becomes, the more important it is to protect and ensure the authority of the UN, to firmly uphold the UN-centric world order based on international law, the basic norms of international relations based on the goals and principles of the UN Charter, to consistently promote the formation of an equal and orderly multipolar world, universally accessible and inclusive economic globalization." All in all, this is a continuation of what we've now been seeing for quite a few years: China has become the great power that most staunchly supports multilateral institutions and international law, just as the U.S. is growing increasingly revisionist and dismissive of rules. Which is par for the course in a great power transition: China's rise was enabled thanks to the current world order so they'll naturally seek to preserve it more than the US who are bound to see the current order as having simultaneously enabled their relative decline. In the article Xi also naturally has some words on the China-Russia relationship which he characterizes a force preserving the world from hegemony: "China and Russia are significant powers that make a constructive contribution to maintaining global strategic stability and improving global governance. The world needs justice, not hegemony." He precises that "China-Russia relations [...] are not directed against third parties" but that they are a "strategic link in promoting the multipolarity of the world and forming a community with a common future for mankind." He also warns that China-Russia relations aren't "subject to [the] influence [of third parties]", probably a reference to talks of American attempts to effect a so-called "reverse Kissinger." He writes that "both sides should jointly resist any attempts to sow discord in the friendship and mutual trust between China and Russia, without being distracted by short-term plots and opportunistic situations." Which probably serves as a way to reassure Russia that China isn't considering giving up on the friendship but also a warning that they shouldn't either. All in all, Xi's article is a clear window into current Chinese strategic thinking. China is positioning itself as the defender of the post-WWII international order against "hegemonic" forces, casting the United States as the revisionist power. And the U.S. is increasingly obliging, validating China's arguments. It's a very Daoist "wu-wei" (effortless action) approach: rather than directly confronting American power, China is harnessing the present momentum and redirecting it, achieving goals through alignment with existing forces rather than through direct opposition. What emerges is an incremental transformation: China doesn't need to overthrow the international order when it can simply outlast American commitment to it.

@RnaudBertrand I like this Xi fellow. He makes a lot of sense. I admit I fell for Western propaganda against China and the CCP, but the last year has my opened my eyes to the real geopolitical realities.

@wartranslated In sports, does the General Manager play on the field? In business, does the CEO negotiate the fine print? No, they recruit the best possible players and provide strategic direction to a team. Zelensky is playing for cheap PR wins, the only kind of win he has ever known.

Bruce is a joke. He once stood for fighting the oppression. The same oppression that the LEFT perpetuates. The brainwashing in this country is highly effective. If you can’t go with the facts ( and I mean facts that come from reputable sources and not your TV ) then you are brainwashed.
