Bloomberg reports that Xi Jinping has, for the first time, publicly congratulated Ukraine on its Independence Day. The move comes just days before Putin’s planned visit to China. For decades, Beijing has never extended such greetings to former Soviet republics—except Russia.
I wouldn't be surprised if China chooses to invade Russia instead of Taiwan to get back the land they lost in the next couple of years.
Now is the time for China to invade Russian far east
How weird.
Straws in the wind? Putin can’t exactly be delighted.
I wonder if Xi will over Putin some tea.
Give Putin* I need to be allowed to edit my posts half of the time.
china supports russian terror and the genocide of Ukrainians
Xi thought Zelensky would be stupid enough to let in chinese invaders to be "peacekeeping troops" china is russsia - a barbaric imperialist colonialist country with 0 respect for the law or human rights.
It's seems weird. It could be a cynical ploy to look sympathetic towards Ukraine because they know something about putler's future we don't.
failing backward barbaric china is Imperial Japan to russia's Nazi Germany thanks to Xi - Hirohito to Putin's Hitler Xi is sick and deluded and thinks he is Mao, who killed 50 million Chinese. Just as Putin thinks he is Stalin and has already killed 2 million personally
Putting a foot in both camps. He knows russia is not in good shape right now.
This. China senses that Ukraine will be a powerful nation to deal with in the future. And Ukraine will be wedded to the EU, making the EU that much more powerful. Trade deals with the EU far outweigh Russian deals. Russia growing weaker by the month.
china is mocking Zelensky and Ukraine. This "congratulation" is full of cynicism.
You might be right, but it's insulting to Moscow, isn't it?
Nah. They know it's just made up bullshit
you fight for what is right you get respect eventually .. that is how it works.
You're watching too many movies, maybe. We're talking about China, where "what is right" doesn't mean what you think.
even there they had to find out Ukraine on the map and realize the people there have some self-respect. No propaganda can take that out in the age of internet.
This isn't propaganda. China's lack of respect for human rights is a fact. You're expecting way too much from it. If China really approches Ukraine one day, it will be for business.
I like the tought that courage and righteous wrath are universally respected. Now with Trump backstabbing Zelenskyy on live tv it will be very difficult to convince anyone even in China he is "imperialist lap dog". Even there there is public opinion leaders can't ignore.
There seems to be more chatter and vague hints from politicians that things might be declining faster in ruzzia than we know. This could be one such sign that putler's regime is coming to an end. It's not Hopium, just my speculation.
Pure strategy, the kind of “diplomacy” Western elites adore: words that mean the opposite of what they say. Beijing greenlit this war, props up russia’s economy, supplies military components, and profits from the slaughter.
Double faced,he's still praising his deep friendship and link with Russia🤨
