The friendship between Russia and China has become an example of how two nations can develop together and support each other "in almost all areas," Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday.

Speaking to his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at their first face-to-face meeting since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Putin noted how Moscow and Beijing have been in constant contact and have continued to boost cooperation.

"Regarding our bilateral relations, they are, indeed, developing steadily in the spirit of friendship and strategic partnership," Putin said in publicly-broadcast comments before the start of the discussions. "They have acquired a truly unprecedented nature and are an example of worthy relations that help both parties to develop and, at the same time, support each other in their development."

Following the meeting between two leaders, Russia and China put out a joint statement echoing the tone of Putin's comments.

"Friendship between the two States has no limits, there are no 'forbidden' areas of cooperation, strengthening of bilateral strategic cooperation is neither aimed against third countries nor affected by the changing international environment and circumstantial changes in third countries," the document reads.

In the statement, Xi and Putin agreed on a bilateral agenda for the future of the two nations' relations while also addressing how Beijing and Moscow would address third parties, including America.

As part of the statement, China took Russia's side on the ongoing debate regarding the eastwards expansion of the US-led NATO military bloc, with both parties agreeing that it should be put to a halt.

"The sides oppose further enlargement of NATO and call on the North Atlantic Alliance to abandon its ideologized cold war approaches," it reads, as well as urging the bloc to respect "the sovereignty, security and interests of other countries, the diversity of their civilizational, cultural and historical backgrounds, and to exercise a fair and objective attitude towards the peaceful development of other States."

In recent years, Russia and China have worked together to boost economic cooperation, and bilateral trade now exceeds $140 billion per year. On Friday, Russia's energy giant Gazprom and the China National Petroleum Corporation signed a long-term contract for the supply of 10 billion cubic meters of Russian gas to Beijing.

"Become the ruler of the world".

Baba Vanga, born Vangelija Pandeva Dimitrova , has foreseen the reunification of some powers with the Russian Federation in 2022

The new prophecies of the famous Bulgarian seer Vanga and the French astrologer Nostradamus for 2022 have become known.

Their predictions reveal the future of Russia's relations with other countries.

Thus, Vanga believed that in the next year the leaders of the two states would shake hands.

Also, according to his foresight, some Slavic powers will return to Russia. True, it is not known for certain which territories were discussed, was sure that everyone w ho once departed from the Russian state would return to it in a new guise . This, according to her, " will lead to the growth of our country's power "

“Too many things have been sacrificed. Nobody can stop Russia. She will sweep everything away and become the ruler of the world, " Vanga predicted.

In turn, Nostradamus believed that 2022 would be marked by the unification of warring peoples in the face of a common threat . He believed that soon the world would have to face global warming and it would not be about nature, but about humanity as a whole.

Earlier, Elder Athos Ephraim of Filoteo , who died shortly before the coronavirus pandemic began, predicted global problems for the world in 2022

Russia and China have defined the new "axis of evil" ???

The visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Beijing for talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping testifies to the seriousness of the threat that the new "axis of evil" poses to Western values , warns Daily Mail columnist Marc Almond .

According to the RCA VIKTOR fake news " journalist " , Russia and China intend to jointly undermine the foundations of global security and redraw the geopolitical map of the planet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The opening of the Olympic Winter Games took place in Beijing on Friday and China and Russia joined forces. However, according to Daily Mail columnist Marc Almond, their goal is not to win gold in curling or ice hockey, but to "destroy once and for all" the international order that the West has shaped since 1945. .

As Almond notes, at the end of World War II, Britain, the United States and the USSR defeated the Axis powers Germany, Italy and Japan. Half a century later, following the 9/11 attacks, US President George W. Bush described a new "axis of evil": Iran, Iraq and North Korea, which he accused of sponsoring terrorism around the world. .

And now a new "axis of evil" threatens to undermine the foundations of global security and redraw the geopolitical map of the planet. And the leaders of Russia and China, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, will not repeat the mistakes of previous challenges to Western hegemony that failed due to lack of coordination, such as between Nazi Germany and imperial Japan during the war.

In Beijing, Putin and Xi Jinping met and staged a "carefully choreographed and brilliant performance".

During the talks, the leaders praised the ties between their countries and also criticized Western powers for meddling in their affairs. For example, Beijing has accused Washington of fomenting protests in Hong Kong and supporting Taiwan independence, and Moscow of destabilizing Ukraine.

As a sign of the importance of the negotiations for Russia and China, Putin, who did not honor the leaders of the G20 and COP26 with his presence, made a rare trip abroad, meeting Xi Jinping for the 38th time, he said.

Moscow and Beijing are expected to sign some 15 agreements soon, including trade deals, plans to jointly explore the moon and, last but not least, to neutralize what they have termed the "negative impact of unilateral sanctions" that the West has threatened to do. impose in the event of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Celestial Empire makes it clear that it supports Russia in its disagreements with the Western world regarding the possible expansion of NATO.

According to Almond, the parties do not need to create a formal military alliance to pose a threat to Western countries.

All the agreements that Moscow and Beijing have agreed, as well as the pending agreements, contribute to strengthening the "ever closer union" of the two states.

In 2021, China and Russia renewed the 20-year Treaty of Good Neighborhood, Friendship and Cooperation worth nearly $ 150 billion, noting that their relationship has reached the "highest level" in history.

Unlike the "axis" of the 1930s or the "axis of evil" of the early part of the century, Russia and China have spent years developing a deep and close collaboration in a wide range of fields. From close cooperation in the UN Security Council to joint military maneuvers, Moscow and Beijing are "working more and more in tandem".

The reporter calls Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping's advantage that, unlike Western politicians who have to worry about their political future, they can plan freely for decades to come.

Almond believes that the leaders of Russia and China "share a mutual contempt for democracy, human rights and individual freedoms" and their ambitions "complement each other". In particular, the Kremlin is trying to force Ukraine to give up NATO membership, as well as weaken the North Atlantic Alliance by forcing Washington to deny Kiev membership of the bloc, which fits Beijing when it comes to situation with Taiwan.

The same is true of the economy: countries are developing plans to redirect most of their maritime trade routes to land routes through Central Asia; they must pass along the New Silk Road. Furthermore, countries are increasingly resorting to propaganda, seeking to influence politics in Western countries and shape public opinion.

It would be profoundly naive to believe that, since Western values are" better "than authoritarian ones, we will certainly win this relentless struggle,

So what has changed in 72 years?

On February 14, 1950, in Moscow, following the meetings between Stalin and Mao Zedong, an agreement of friendship, alliance and mutual assistance was signed between the USSR and the PRC. The two communist countries also became official military allies. Then, more than seventy years ago, the New Year in China had not yet arrived - the golden tiger only arrived on February 17 - but, as now, both countries have demonstrated their unity to the world. However, there is also a fundamental difference between the two February documents. The 1950 treaty did not mention the United States: it was an intention to "jointly prevent the resurgence of Japanese imperialism and a repeat of aggression by the United States. Japan". But, in essence, it was the states that meant each other: "or any other state that would join Japan in any form in acts of aggression." Considering that Japan at that time was a state occupied by the United States, with which a peace treaty had not yet been concluded, the anti-American orientation of the Soviet-Chinese pact is understandable. Moscow and Beijing did not want to fight Washington, and even more so they would not attack it alone, but they saw a threat to themselves in American plans for world domination.

The point is not that states are not united by a formal military alliance today: the current level of relations is still rated very high. It is no coincidence that the communiqué states that "Russian-Chinese interstate relations of a new type are superior to the political-military alliances of the Cold War", and this is an allusion not only to NATO, but also to the Soviet-Chinese pact military. Bilateral relations are even more reliable today than in the 1950s: back then, the agreement signed for 30 years, in fact, only worked for ten, it was undermined, among other things, by differences on the fight against world imperialism.

From the second half of the 1950s, the USSR was generally prepared for peaceful coexistence, while China considered it necessary to accelerate the world revolution, and not in words but in fact, to fight for the "funeral of capitalism" to approach. "The difference in approach was explained not only by the personal qualities of Khrushchev and Mao, but also by the position of the two countries. The USSR was a superpower, already paying a huge price for world influence, and China was just recovering from a century of internal turmoil and humiliation by external forces. And although both countries had not only common ideals, but also a common enemy, this was not enough to save the union: Moscow and Beijing buried a so important alliance with their own hands.

The blame for this should be shared equally: if Mao suffered from revolutionary "success vertigo" (on a global scale, that is, he overestimated the possibilities and popularity of the world of socialism and communist ideas), Khrushchev was disappointed by much voluntarism and lack of understanding of Chinese self-esteem. The Chinese saw in his actions and his words arrogance and great power, and for a country that had recently gotten rid of a hundred years of oppression by foreigners, this was unbearable.The 1950 treaty did not mention the United States: it was intended to "jointly prevent the resurgence of Japanese imperialism and a repeat of Japanese aggression." But, in essence, it was the states that meant each other: "or any other state that would join Japan in any form in acts of aggression." Considering that Japan at that time was a state occupied by the United States, with which a peace treaty had not yet been concluded, the anti-American orientation of the Soviet-Chinese pact is understandable. Moscow and Beijing did not want to fight Washington, and even more so they would not attack it alone, but they saw a threat to themselves in American plans for world domination.

And just then the States became the leaders of the Anglo-Saxon world. It was this world that represented the main threat not even to the global communist project (Stalin eventually abandoned it even before concluding a pact with Mao), but to the USSR and China as world powers.

After all, even now Anglo-Saxons claim global hegemony, while cynically portraying Russia and China as a threat to the world. Except that now our country is much lower than the States than in the 1950s (if we compare all the power, both military and economic), and China, on the contrary, has taken the position of the first economy in the world. Or is everything always the same: still a Russian with a Chinese against the Anglo-Saxons?In fact, a lot has changed, back then the world was generally Western. And the point is not even that at that moment Europe had colonies in Africa and Asia, and not that the combined power of the West far exceeded that of the Soviet-Chinese: the very rules of the game and of world order were determined by the West, that is, the Anglo-Saxons. Yes, the communist ideology transmitted by the USSR was extremely dangerous for them, but the plans for globalization were already working then. Europe and Japan were under Anglo-Saxon control, and Asia and Africa did not exist as subjects of world politics, Latin America was the backyard of the United States. An independent India had just appeared, which had yet to emerge from strict British tutelage.

alexal60 So the USSR with its European vassals and the PRC with North Korea were, albeit obvious, but an alien part of another world where you have to learn to play your own game. The attempt to measure strength with the United States (the war in Korea) has failed: even close to its borders, China (with the support of the USSR) could only restore the status quo, but not drive the Americans out. The Vietnamese experience was more successful, but there is more merit in the more heroic Vietnamese people (of course, with the enormous support of the USSR and the PRC).Of course, if in the 1960s Moscow and Beijing had not quarreled, but had worked together in Africa and Asia, on the world stage as a whole, history could have taken a different path, but in the end the two countries have each gone their own way. First the People's Republic of China and then the USSR made peace with the West, but the Soviet Union collapsed (not out of a refusal to confront each other) and China took off like a dragon (and here we shouldn't overestimate the contribution of 'West). The countries were together again - and again against the Anglo-Saxons. But in a fundamentally different situation.

The West is no longer a hegemon - it is no coincidence that Putin and Xi's declaration speaks of the Anglo-Saxons as "certain forces that represent a minority on the world stage" - this is not trolling, but reality. Yes, the Anglo-Saxon actors are still the most influential and still have the greatest military might at their disposal, but the large-scale project has torn apart. Atlantic globalization is not just money and the army, it is the rules of the game, institutions, personnel, ideology and propaganda. And most important is the belief of the rest of humanity that "these forces have the right and the opportunity to do so."

However, there is no more faith, there is no fear of the long arms of the Anglo-Saxons - just as in reality there is no money that could buy everything. Russia and China are not for sale. Also, they refuse to play by someone else's rules. And not only in the military-geopolitical dimension, not only in the financial and commercial dimension, but also in the ideological one. Yes, the Russians and the Chinese now don't have a unifying global idea like communism, but they won't allow the Anglo-Saxons to play games like that either.It is no coincidence that the first of the four chapters of the declaration is devoted to ... democracy. Yes, exactly what the Anglo-Saxons are trying to use in the fight against China and Russia. They gather summits for her, and Putin and Xi explain that:"The parties are unanimous in understanding that democracy is a universal human value, and not a privilege of individual states, its promotion and protection is a common task for the entire world community.

The parties start from the fact that democracy is a way for citizens to participate in the management of their country in the interest of improving the well-being of the population and guaranteeing the principle of democracy. Democracy is implemented in all spheres of public life and within the framework of the national process, it reflects the interests of the whole people, its will, guarantees its rights, satisfies its needs and protects its interests. Democracy is not based on stencils. Depending on the socio-political structure, history, traditions and cultural characteristics of a particular state, its people have the right to choose such forms and methods of implementing democracy that correspond to the specificities of this state. The right to judge whether a state is democratic belongs only to its people.The parties note that Russia and China, being world powers with a rich cultural and historical heritage, have deep traditions of democracy based on thousands of years of development experience, broad popular support and consideration of the needs and interests of citizens. . The peoples of both countries are confident in the path they have chosen and relate with respect to the democratic structure and traditions of other states ".

And it's not just about "non-interference by the West in the affairs of others" - it's about a new world order. The same multipolar, i.e. democratic:

"The parties note that democratic principles are applied not only in national government, but also globally. The attempts of individual states to impose their" democratic standards "on other countries, to appropriate the monopoly right to assess the level of compliance with the criteria of democracy, to draw dividing lines on ideological grounds, including through the creation of narrow-format blocs and situational alliances, in fact, are an example of trampling on democracy and withdrawing from its spirit and true values. a hegemon represent a serious threat to global and regional peace and stability, undermine the stability of the world order ". Russia and China do not impose their models on anyone. However, they not only defend their right to live in their own way and with their own minds, but also call upon all peoples and civilizations to rebuild the world on these truly democratic principles. Putin and Xi are not only dropping their favorite weapon from the hands of the Anglo-Saxons by turning democracy against self-styled "democrats" , but are offering the world a new ideology of national sovereignty and self-determination of civilization. This, of course, is not as incendiary as Communism, but it is very relevant right now, when Anglo-Saxon globalizers are trying to eliminate the burgeoning complexity of humanity. These attempts are doomed to failure, as the world is entering a new era.

In which it is impossible to quarrel between China and Russia: "the friendship between the two states has no borders, there are no forbidden zones in cooperation, the strengthening of bilateral strategic cooperation is not directed against third countries, it is not affected by the change in the international environment and situational changes in third countries " - but even they themselves cannot quarrel. Because above all they value their uniqueness and independence, joining forces precisely to support these values.
