ah, what you know, need to to own or not to own. what about a sharing economy instead? a change in thinking is changing the economy to create something new the economics magazine you read in germany on d w. mm . this is the dublin years aisha coming up today. will china play mediator or enabler in the ukraine war? it's the question on everyone's mind as president, huge and big arrived in moscow to meet vladimir putin. we look at what to expect and how countries in central asia view this relationship plus another

relationship and focus today. the one between india and japan, japanese prime minister from your kisha, is in delhi to meet an important partner in the into pacific. ah, i british manager, welcome to did up the news asia. glad you could join us. chinese president, she g p is in moscow to meet vladimir putin. this just days after the international criminal court charts, the russian president with war crimes and ukraine, ahead of the visit, she called this trip journey of friendship corporation and peace. beijing recently circulated a 12 point piece plan for the war in ukraine that many have criticized for being short on specifics. china and russia already share no limits partnership that their leaders inked last year. and gentlemen offer more is time or more of

a fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace. he's an expert in china, russia relations, and central mission countries. foreign policies are welcome. there's been quite a buzz about china, possibly playing the role of mediator in the ukraine war. what interest does beijing have in doing so? so, so thank you for having me. when it comes to shooting pins, visit to moscow, i think the intention behind china is active as a share of the situation with the russians and b, b for several reasons. first of all, china wants to keep russia is an important asset in this further potential confrontation with the us. here russia is the only country that is on the same page with beijing and is ready to do much more than beijing itself in this confrontation, other than that, china wants to prove to the world that it should be considered as

a global superpower. and as a global superpower, it cannot ignore the most important conflict that we have right now in your political arena. and that is why these actors asian also is a part of that. let's talk about this potential confrontation with the united states and therefore, wanting to keep russia on side. if this is what the aim of china is, all this talk about russia, potentially mediating in the ukraine war would seem misplaced. yes, i don't think that china really sees itself in this war as a peace keeper or a country that would bring peace to ukraine, potentially. that is why if we take a look at the announcement that are being made from the gene, or if we take a look at the piece plan that being published months ago, we won't see it real plan that potentially can change

the situation. ukraine. some points in this piece plan and contradict each other, and it's just a document that you would point out to any country that would potentially criticize it for ignoring this conflicts. so when it comes to the go ahead, sorry, please go ahead. yes. so when it comes to a fee where you crane, i think china's intention here to show that it's ready to provide some ideas and at the same time, not really get involved to this conflict. or let's talk about russia or nations or in an overall context to talk about are trying to being a global, super bar and showing to the well, the china cannot be ignored and such an important issue of you all to looking at

the china, russia friendship that is trying to saw the seeds of a new norman world order just we might look at it from this perspective and both moscow in beijing thing that international order should be more fear towards themselves. but russia and trying to use different instruments to make them look more important when we talk about russia. russia uses higher power and tries to distract all of the global processes that we've been observing for decades now. but in case of chinese, different china wants to become a very important player in the international order and to change it from the inside . i'd like to talk about the central asia as well. moscow has traditionally seen of this region as a part of its sphere of influence as well. but has that taken

a didn't you think, due to the russian diverse is in the ukraine ball? yes, right now it might seem that russia in central asia is much less influential. but i think it's even today, it's too early to jump into this conclusion. rushes to you should be considered as a very important power here in central asia. and most importantly, this is happening before because of the mutual trust that exist between the political elites here in the countries of central asia and in russia and no other country, whether it's china or turkey or us has the level of trust with elite. but when we talk about long term rushes presence intentionally, will inevitably decline. and these, you know,

wake them would be replaced by other countries. and china, here is the number one country that would be ready to do that. we're live there for that. i mean, well, thank you so much for joining us today or tomorrow from the carnegie endowment for international peace. thank you so much. and in keeping with the fame of leaders struggling to meet friends, japanese prime minister from your issue is an india where he has met indian lead, not in the mo, the both discussed biological tires including technology, cooperation, defense equipment and business partnerships, relation between tokyo and delhi. have only grown closer in recent years, especially with the emergence of china as a pre eminent paul in the region. and joining us now for more is journalists, charlotte, other of in delhi shallow prime minister. she done prime, mr. moore,

the hell. the joint press conference earlier, what has emerged from it? well prime minister kasheila, as soon as he arrived in delhi of you know, the both the leaders that have held a press conference and they said that the of that the goal of this meeting was to review their global strategic partnership. and they reviewed it. and the, the main areas of review were obviously, you know, with their bilateral ties. the defense ties, the digital technology, trade and investment. and if you remember in 2014 prime minister explained minister of japan chin, so arby has voted, had visited india, and 2014 was a year when movie mr. movie took over the prime minister ship. it was his 1st payment as a ship of india and both the leaders, they decided that they're going to take the next level in their relationship and they called it a step towards a sort of special strategic global partnership. so i think this meeting is

a natural step towards that goal towards realizing that goal. and i mean the economy relations between the 2 countries sort of suffered a setback due to covered of you know, to few years ago. but now they seem to be back on track and japan has invested in, you know, a high speed train projects in india, the smart city projects in india. and they seem to be back on track. and both leaders seem to be very pleased with the progress that they're making up, especially in job creations in both the countries and the 2 prime minister, mr. k. she the and mr movie they met twice last year, which is i think, a testament to the fact that, you know, these 2 leaders of a serious about this a partnership. and they were there, bilateral trade stood at $20000000000.00 us dollars just last year, which was the highest ever so that sort of gives you a backdrop of how significant this meeting is and how serious these 2 leaders are about cooperation. you talked about

a global strategic partnership between both countries. enough when you're consider is in india with the you, quinn warning in the background. and while talk your have sanctioned and condemned russia actions new delhi hasn't. has that had any impact in terms that's too oh, you know that's, that's one thing that the whole world has been sort of sitting tight and watching in does a position on rushes. aggression in, in ukraine, of, in a prime minister met mister putin last year. and he said that over this is not the time for war, but then he stopped short of a condemnation. so, you know, that's a detriment of the 2 leaders friendship in of mr movie and mr. put in a, they have a thick sort of friendship. and also what has happened since the war began since the conflict began, is the fact that india has started buying more oil than ever from russia. india once more cheap oil from russia and russia happens to be a piano india's largest arms diesel. given this fact job, you know, it's, it's,

it's sort of hard for india to take of a strong stand as the western nations have. but then this can also be seen as a mr. moody's attempts to stop mister putting from closing up to she, jim been, you know, the china as a president. so, you know, it's a vague, calculated sort of decision that the government of india has taken, given the geopolitical realities of this world in a, given how it's affecting the economies, you know, the food and the oil prices around the world. so it's a difficult one, but up so far the 2 prime ministers of mr. kachimba and mr. moody, having mentioned that word, so it'll be interesting to see of, you know, how they get around that. but the interesting thing is that, you know, one of the goals matches which is to come to china and its influence in the region . and that sort of pays a small part in this whole dynamics. are not little bit of a bit deeper into the global strategic partnership between the 2 nations. what

really connect the to democracy is what is bringing them close together over the years? well, you know, these are the 2 largest democracies in asia, so it's sort of natural for them to be, you know, allying for sort of a greater cause for, for, you know, a shared cause. so to say in fact probably to sticky sheila wrote this editorial in an indian newspaper indian express and i'm an accord from that. he says that a p m and i a foot, be a movie, and i affirm that any attempt to unilaterally change the state of school by force is unacceptable. now that's a veiled prince to not just the ukraine bowl, but also to china, which is increasing it, muscle bar in the region that japan is very uncomfortable about. and then he goes on to say that not only in the in the pacific, but also in the region. and then he says that, you know, the book, the leaders will be putting in effort towards the realization of free and open indo

pacific, which they abbreviate as f i a p. and both the leaders seem to be agreeing on this, you know, with of a strong stand. so i think this is a vision that is shared by both countries, not just the fact that you know, they are democracies. and they understand, you know, how the values of, you know, how the 2 countries book very, but also, you know, count, the regional influence that china has had in the last few years reliever bear with me. thanks so much for joining us today. sally. other from dinner that's it for today. ah. making rary to read me. if there is any erotic events between them, you'd have to find it between the lines. oh,
