i think it poses challenges internationally, because i think there's a contest between china and the westobally. and i think it matters because there are still risks of conflict. i mean, there are risks of conflict over taiwan, over accidental escalation in the south china seas. so how far the two sides understand each other really does matter. with a meeting between xijinping and vladimir putin, is there any question, do you think, that they might kind of co—ordinate their efforts? or is that a nightmare that we don't need to worry ourselves with? they've both found themselves at a moment of increased tension with the west together. and i think for that reason, tactically and opportunistically, they are more inclined to work together. i think if you're china, if the west's ability to support ukraine fails and russia wins, then i think it does damage to the western alliance structure, the confidence of the west, which may then encourage china to think it can do something in taiwan. there's not huge military cooperation going from china to russia, but there's a bit of support. and i think,

, they proceeded from the fact that after all, china needs the west more than china needs the westith this assessment? well, you know, there is a certain political inertia, but what can i say, the west is used to talking like this and gives up its habits with difficulty, but it does, so i noticed... such an inconspicuous, perhaps, aspect of this visit, you know, which there was no, there was absolutely no conversation of such pressure, impudently on china, as it was always, regarding human rights, well, always, it seemed to me that there wasn’t at all, there wasn’t at all, because always western leaders, there was always some uyghur there, there was democracy, some human rights activists, they always raised it, it was just like, you know, here, here, here, here is a gesture. to do this so that, as they say, it is said, apparently, now it has become clear, at least they understood that you can’t talk to china like that, you can’t have conversations with the chinese leader in that tone, so something is changing, thank you, andrei andreevich sashentsov, dean of the mgimo school of int

south this will be an indication that if a similar situation arises in their interaction with the west and chinae some kind of from the countries of the global south, due to contradictions in relations with the west and the united states, will be under western pressure and china will retreat. and refuses to develop a partnership with her, then this will very significantly weaken the authority of china’s position in global yoga, the second thing is that, unfortunately, the threat of conflict in the taiwan strait does not disappear, it at least persists, if not grows, so at some point an absolutely mirror situation may arise when at the epicenter china will already be in a power conflict, and that is... but also on other countries, the west will begin to put pressure on them to reduce their cooperation with china, so take care, taking care now, to preserve the country’s reputation as a sovereign country political economically, china is investing in its future. oliver schopf of austria, at the top of the american wall of sanctions, a man like biden is trying. two people from russia and china play t

xijinping tells china and the west. xi jinping tells vladimir china and the west. hat china will always be moscow's close partner and friend, as the two leaders vow to deepen their strategic partnership. and in the us, president biden opposes steep tariff hikes on critical technologies from china hitting goods from electric cars to chips. welcome to our show. we start with russia's leader concluding his two—day visit in china. there were smiles, handshakes and warm words from xi jinping and warm words from xi jinping and vladimir putin as both countries pledged to deepen relations. this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of china—russia diplomatic relations and both agreed to combat what they say are destructive and hostile us policies. the us is urging china to stop supporting russia's war in ukraine, saying it cannot seek to improve ties with the west and continue to support moscow, but there's been little sign mr xi has heeded those words and trade between china and russia has surged since the invasion. the kremlin leader said he appreciated chi

and if, if the west is the risk getting itself from china, what about shining from the west? has china already be begun? the coupling it's economy from the west? i mean, it's biggest trading block now is what se, asia, right? that's right. but it's, it's still very heavily reliant on the markets in uh, in uh, in the west. and i think you've seen somebody come some decoupling. i mean, do you do risking in terms of it producing its own? does that mean conductors and things like that? but it's still is usually important. i mean, that's why we have these towers at the moment, for example, that the biden is just introduced there and, and the sort of anger that they've produced in china because china is unable to sell a lot of its own goods. it has massive over capacities. i'm just trying to shift them to western markets as well as obviously as soon as you mentioned, but, but still i think the west is should be important for the chinese requote some comments and questions too about the future for china. it's a demographic challenge that the situation today for its economy could look

david mazda shed onto west and sentiment shed between serbia and china. i understand you visited the site of the bottom, the embassy soon afterwards, as you read this. well, my impression was that one. it was of the into town that it was home since i happened this big mistake. i do remember the ministry of defense with the size of 10 street corners and going straight into your administrative defense and the rage surgically. so i don't believe for a moment was a mistake. but the child was, we kept the time america read edge, and you could do something like this and send a message. so it's a complex situation. and the other thing that there was a sophisticated plan to split your china was currently playing what strengths were, can. and these are relationships where china believes that can get somebody can on the gains and, and get a feeling of position in some countries in europe, rather than deal was still more conflicted in general politics around china. the gemini faces. nonetheless, i think it was a mistake or she not to go to brussels. i think you shou

as presidents, even the friends french president to mind them according to an extent is for to west china is looking for some sort of alternative partners trade partners, maybe the question i want to ask is, is your ups identity in a crisis and well that is happening. remember, states like still walk the hungry candidates states likes to be? are they looking to spend one sense of the word become a part of the gate to get a pen block but also hold onto his own identity? would you say that is if there is any way of starting from the the that the concluding find of all the other question of yes, it can be the bought a new to meet a change of the european union is the main political line the and it may be because when the, when we joined europe in union and so i can join the raw, the relate in 2004. but in the video stime, you're up in union and even even to describe dates so that the national identity of member countries will be kept. and uh, now that has changed, that has changed. so the europe in union shoot, shoot of the, the change it's it's, it's going to take a line in that way that th

previously, russia was a buffer for china with europe and the west; today russia, let’s be honest, is reacts, and china has learned a lot now, i am in the banking sector who understand what the west reacts to, what it does not react to, how strong the coalition is in the west psychological military, that is, in general , china conducted an exercise for itself on the russian situation, so we need to continue to see what will happen, because china understands perfectly well, and chinese experts publish this, the situation with taiwan will not be resolved tomorrow, china intended to resolve it within decades, perhaps even centuries, and now this situation is suspended and as long as taiwan exists at all, problems with mainland china will remain, and the usa and other countries will constantly warm up this situation, plus the same situation in the south china sea, the islands, that is, these are things that will not dissolve on their own, this is not an economy that can rise and fall there, which means... let’s not assume that russia will not exist for some reason, i mean , she is leaving

international law, but they don't mean the same thing as democracy and his national law mean in the west. china's version democracy is not based on on constitutional democracy. it's, it's more ruled by by party. and international law means pretty much whatever china wants it to mean at that time. this gets it a lot of a need for given time, just because trying to lot of leeway with dealing with things like the south china sea attitudes to taiwan and also, and helping it give it support then to russia's invasion of ukraine. we're getting some questions or comments from our viewers now. i just went through a couple of these out we've got abroad. bestbuy is writing that she and fruits and share a marriage of convenience of it. is that true to make that statement? clement is this a marriage? of convenience, it is, i think at the moment china is enjoying the cheap energy that it's getting from uh, from russia. economically the russian economy is probably smaller than smaller in italy. so it's not, it's on, it's on a major player in terms of the way china thinks globally, but politically it's, it's put

china. but it is interesting that they don't criticize so much their own governments because a lot of the west of nations, a presidency, was also in, in france, cooperates really great with china. we've also had years back a good cooperation in great britain with the germany. so when those kind of that kind of compensation happens, it's not such a big theme in the western media, but when a country which is not the parts of your opinion, not the parts of any military alliance has its own independent relationship. a small country with china that somehow becomes a theme and that should not surprise anyone. of course it is the, it is a matter for the lead send for the ruling classes in all those countries who a wants to exert their own kind of influence. so such small countries as serbia is in the are always concerned when we find a partners that are more suited to us and does have a good relationship with us and that we do it independently. i think that that independent segment of independence, the cooperation with china is the most concerning part for them. and one of the main topics of the chin

russia is in a more aggressive manner towards the west, china may be in a more veiled diplomatic manner, but this does not deny the fact that both china and russia are actually in the same strategic camp, which aims to defeat the west, in general and in the international arena, and in particular in supporting ukraine against russian aggression. if possible very briefly, do you think china will take part in the peace summit organized by ukraine or not? according to the latest data, in particular from switzerland parties, it is known that 50 countries out of more than 100 or so invited have already agreed to participate? there were already messages from the chinese side that they would not like to participate in a conference that does not involve the participation of russia, so the probability that china will not participate in the swiss peace summit is quite high, but let's see how china will act next . .. because, on the one hand, he aims for the strategic defeat of the west, on the other hand, he depends on the west economically , he is afraid of the sanctions regime from of the event,

our china correspondent has this report. as a pariah.e westen in china, president putin is a key partner, as beijing seeks a new world order. one not led by the united states. the red carpet was rolled out complete with a red army, as they walked together in a show of defiance against western pressure. mr. putin needs china. it has become an economic lifeline, write an isolated and heavily sanctioned russia. >> china will always be a good neighbor and a good frnd of military trust with russia. laura: mr. putin said he would inform president xi about the situation in ukraine. and he said he would welcome china's role as peacemaker. beijing put forward a 12 point piece clan more than a year ago, but it received a lukewarm welcome from ukraine and russia. while mr. xi is trying to play peacemaker, he is also accused of fueling russia's war. if the west wants to stop russia's advances in ukraine, they know here is one place they can do that beijing is not supplying moscow with weapons. but the west believes it is supplying russia with components t

china. the fact is that the west at one time began to use taiwan as a kind of leverage on china, so that everythingwest did not want from china would not be there. we don't forget that china replaced taiwan in 1971, everyone agreed on that too, i say, it's just a game. on one side the west, on the other side china, and now it is said that if china now looks at how the war is going on in ukraine, it sees that it cannot win against russia, because no one is waiting for them there, it is looking at taiwan and will understand that they are not waiting for him there either, because such a percentage of the population does not see itself as a part of china, and it understands that it cannot be done by military means, but there is still... er, well, there are hopes for that, and there are threats, and warnings that look, we , let's not stop at the reclamation, the use of force, but this is all talk, i think so, china will not be able to do anything if it sees taiwan as a huge, that is, a fortress behind which the west stands. thank you, ihor of lithuania, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of uk

one of the arguments is the economic cooperation of the people's republic of china with the west, if we compare what we have now, this is the turnover of russia, china, last year 240 billion dollars of goods. russia trades china, the west, the usa, the eu, 1.600 billion dollars, so what will china choose, if they are not completely stupid, but not completely stupid, and especially since we have some results, some results that we still do not have we know but we can therefore anticipate visits to china by scholz and blinkin. svidenpin's visit to france, and let's not mix putler's visit to china, but what the west clearly said, you will continue to help russia, we will impose sanctions, there will be appropriate decisions that will hinder the further development of our economic and other cooperation. mr. igor, as they say, that's a point, that 's the most interesting thing, you, you already mentioned these visits and, as they say, the warnings that were given, and i want to understand, yes, did they work or not, because the economic the argument for trade, it is strong, but it cannot bu

, absolutely wrong, china is already in confrontation with the westncrease in duties on chinese electric cars, without war, without taiwan, without everything, it’s just complete, now it’s total, which already means tariffs are being introduced and so on, that is, actually already. china is eating, well, duties, yes, the viewer may not understand us, we need to make a clearer comparison with what this can be compared, this is the context of the limitation of china’s production capacity, the same as the ceiling on oil, that is, simply translating into russian language, you are exporting too much oil, so to speak, and you are making too much money on it, which means you are making too much money, you are producing too many goods, that is , sanctions similar to russian restrictions are being introduced against china and without any meaning... the russians have had their fill already with chinese cars, it is impossible to buy two, three, four cars and so on for a family there, you will have to force yourself, but we cannot force you, what am i talking abo

china. ruslan, hello. hello. what are the chinese media writing about this meeting? because the westes on its own topics, on the topic of global security, what is celebrated most in china and does it react to such aggressive things? western media coverage of this visit certainly reacts and certainly emphasizes that relations with russia do not bend in any way to the appropriate such western narratives broadcast, in general, the coverage of the visit is, of course, very good, this is especially visible against the backdrop of the contrast with previous leaders who recently came to china, for example scholz, yes, this is a very , very big contrast. and the chinese media literally savor all these details, they really savor it, the chinese media are very careful about such ceremonial things, they seem to show, but... they talk about it, this time they directly write openly, that’s what they’re talking about -tells us what it is here the logic of the chinese approach, because they treat such things carefully, if they write this and say this, then of course at the highest level there is ac

china, but you have to convince china that taking tie one is untenable, that it will not happen in just like flu shots inside of your band and his impressions to take west berlin. china has to balance emissions on tie one in order to see improve relations. you blank that ultimately there can be another day talk with china without the creation of a figurative wall across the try one straight. what would that look like? so it's all about the trends. we have to convince presidency that taking tie one is impossible militarily. and even if it's a few things that might not be possible militarily, that the economic costs would be disastrous. so it means invent inventing investing in significant deterrence capabilities, military discharge capabilities in the region with a time when he use. but it also means increase our economic leverage over china in areas like semi conductors, for example, artificial intelligence and reducing their economic leverage over us in the areas of we technologies like the electric vehicles, like batteries, which we've just seen, the byte initiations, place terrace on. you say, just as it was in the cold war, for the united states, st

china beat for trade. and also obviously they is delegation by the west that china is a very important, contraband comes to military support. something that china actually during his career and trip across europe denies. so a lot of his, a pollutants next to him and into him save him, trying to portray himself as a strong leader. it's just going to depend on how strong it is the eyes of the public. we do go to the ongoing war against ukraine bodies. thank you very much for that. that was our correspondent, funny part char, in rica sell us president joe biden has condemned anti semitism at a holocaust memorial ceremony. speaking in the capital in washington 5 and warned against the rise of anti jewish feeling in america. since the start of the war and gossip, the president honored the memory of the 6000000 jewish people murdered by the nazis in world war 2. by them was also announcing additional measures to curb anti semitism on us campuses. while our corresponding ben, you mean over as group of joining us now from washington, dc for some analysis. but anyways, present binds remarks have been described as a

but for china, i mean china also need stable ties with the west to help it's sluggish. economy can she's in pain. can he pull off what appears to be a delicate balancing act as well? for the moment the china needs to play the balancing act between the west and russia. in fact, um, the trades will do them with the rush of reach to another milestone. last year we to more than $200000000000.00 us dollars, but in fact, the really big numbers are still in the trade room between china and united states in china, and who are up meanwhile, amounting to around 800000000000 years dollars. so here of course, in the case, so for us or china, it is not just about trade in economic ties. as we know for a fact, china has been providing and he's still providing the critical lifeline for the russian war economy. when we refer to or some people refer to russia as trying as junior partner, do you think that's an accurate assessment? well, whoever says the rest is just the junior partner of china or china is only interested in the russian fossil fuels has not been paying attention for the l
