The whole world is in awe due to the situation of stand off between Russia and Ukraine. But, under the guise of this issue, China seems to be making its own sense. Russia’s aggressive attitude towards Ukraine has been criticized by the powerful countries of the world. But, China has a different tone. He seems to be growing closer to Russia. In fact, he is adopting this policy consciously. This will help China to pursue its aggressive expansionist policy in the continent of Asia.
Jinping and Putin issued joint declaration
Recently, the leaders of Western countries distanced themselves from the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics. But, Russian President Vladimir Putin reached China. After the talks of Xi-Jinping, a joint statement was issued by both the leaders. In this, America was warned to interfere in their affairs. Both also opposed attempts to expand NATO. The meeting of the two is proof of how China seems to be making mistakes with China under the guise of Ukraine issue.
China can become Russia’s helper if sanctions are imposed
China seems to be taking its step very thoughtfully. On the other hand, Russia’s compulsion is that it is looking for an ally to counter the Western powers. If the situation in Ukraine worsens, then the US and European countries can announce strict sanctions on Russia. China can prove to be a big help to Russia in neutralizing it. China would like to recover the price. It would like Russia’s help in its aggressive expansion policy in Asia. China continues to stake its claim on Taiwan.
Similarities in the policies of Putin and Jinping
Indeed, there seems to be a lot of scope for cooperation between China and Russia. One reason for this is the similarity in the policies of Xi Jinping and Putin. Putin is using all kinds of tricks to stay in power in Russia. His policy regarding Ukraine is part of this episode. Here, China’s evil eyes are on some other areas including Taiwan and South China Sea. In this way, both the leaders are seen walking on expansionist policy. You hardly see any other country in the world following such a policy.
Both are increasing cooperation in the field of energy
Russia and China are also looking at the scope of cooperation in the field of energy. Russia has vast reserves of petroleum, gas and coal. China can help Russia at the level of technology for its use. Right now China buys very little fuel from Russia. Russia wants China to increase fuel imports from it. After the efforts of cooperation in this field for a long time were not successful, now both the countries are seeing a ray of hope. China has to spend a lot of money to meet its growing energy needs. If it gets fuel from Russia, it will be able to save a lot of money only in the form of transportation cost.
Together the strategy to compete with America
America is the third big factor bringing Russia and China closer. Both Russia and China have grown anxious since Biden became president in the US. Bidney’s policy is different from that of former President Donald Trump. America has been against China’s growing clout in Asia. This is the reason why it has increased its cooperation with India at many levels in the last few years. He wants to rein in China through India. Here, India has also indicated no laxity against China. The maturity shown by India in settling the border dispute last year has proved that it is not going to come under pressure from China. In such a situation, it is a compulsion for China to increase its proximity with Russia.
