China, America, Russia, New Romance of the Three Kingdoms, how about the script? Wei, Shu and Wu, where does China occupy?
As early as 2009, the United States put forward the idea of G2. Regardless of g20, g7, and g8, the world has the final say on the United States and China. This is G2.
At that time, Summers, director of the National Economic Council of the United States, even declared in a very low-key manner that "the United States is no longer the locomotive of the world" and deliberately gave up the position of the protagonist.
There is nothing new under the sun. Isn't this American trick a bit like a replica of what Cao Cao said to Liu Bei back then of "the heroes of the world, only the king and Caoer"? Isn't it a bit like Sun Quan's letter to persuade Cao Cao to be the emperor, Cao Cao mocked "I want to make me live above the fire", you kid is trying to put me on fire?
The general trend of the world, divided for a long time must be united, and for a long time must be divided. This is the law of China's historical changes and development. It is also the law of the game among major powers in international relations. It is also the law of struggle or friendship between China, the United States and Russia in the past 70 years.
So, who can rule the world, or say, win to the end?
As the world's most powerful country after World War II, the United States is undoubtedly the contemporary Cao Wei-with comprehensive advantages and strategic dominance.
At the beginning of the Cold War, China fell to the Soviet Union and joined hands against the United States. By the 1960s, the two countries fell apart. Then China and the United States turned their enemies into friends, established diplomatic relations in 1979, and joined hands against the Soviet Union. In the 1980s, Sino-Soviet relations began to thaw. China, the United States and Russia have formed an unequal triangular relationship.
Therefore, from the 1950s to the late 1980s, the United States and Russia were the protagonists at both ends of Libra, while China was the weight. Whoever leans against can occupy a favorable position.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia's influence diminished, but after Putin came to power, he cleaned up the mess, kept the basics, and still plays a decisive role in the world. China has risen due to reform and opening up, and has gradually taken to the center of the international arena. The United States, on the other hand, has been over consumption due to the war on terrorism for more than 10 years, and its strength has declined sharply after its domestic de-industrialization.
Therefore, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, China, the United States and Russia formed a new triangular relationship. Just like Sun and Liu joined forces to fight against Cao, China and Russia joined forces to fight against the United States and report to the group for warmth.
After the US-Russia summit, the outside world has been concerned about when Biden will meet with Chinese leaders. In this regard, US National Security Adviser Sullivan stated at a press conference that President Biden is willing to have "any form" of meetings with Chinese leaders, but there is currently no specific plan, and both leaders will be present in October. The G20 summit. As for their personal relationship, Biden said, "We know each other, but we are not good friends, just official relations."
In contrast, the personal relations between the leaders of China and Russia, just like the relationship between the two countries, are "the best intimate friends." In terms of official definition, Sino-Russian relations are also in the "best period in history." Therefore, China and Russia can see through any attempts to split them.
On the economic front, China and Russia announced their intention to weaken the dominance of the U.S. dollar in international trade. Since last year, most of the trade between the two sides has been paid in Russian rubles, Chinese yuan or euros. For Russia, this helps weaken the strength of US economic sanctions.
In the field of military security, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation. The Ministry of National Defense of China issued a statement in March this year that it will implement the important consensus reached by the heads of state of China and Russia, conduct in-depth cooperation in high-level exchanges, strategic coordination, joint exercises, equipment and technology, and comprehensively develop Sino-Russian military relations. I believe this direction will not change. In addition, the Chinese and Russian armed forces jointly held joint military exercises from Central Asia to Russia, and then to the Baltic Sea, the Western Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The progress of joint patrols of strategic bombers in Japan's sea and sky shows that China and Russia are willing to form a united front against the US military presence in this area.
Moreover, China's military industry is also developing rapidly. Russian defense expert Polonchuk published an article in the "Military Courier" magazine and pointed out that at present, in addition to being interested in Russia's most advanced weapon models, China is gradually abandoning its previous bulk purchase of Russian-made weapons in favor of brand-new military technology. Cooperative transformation. In other words, the era of Russia's comprehensive superiority in weapons and equipment has passed.
It seems that Sino-Russian relations are like iron plates, and the possibility of shaking them is very low. In the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation" signed 20 years ago, one of the clauses stipulated: When one of the contracting parties believes that they are threatened by aggression, the two parties will immediately engage and negotiate to eliminate the threat. In a joint statement of more than 5,000 words issued by the two countries this week, there are many important new expressions, the second of which says: Russia needs a prosperous and stable China, and China needs a strong and successful Russia.
However, as China's national strength has improved, new changes have taken place in the relationship between the three countries. China and the United States have become the protagonists at both ends of Libra, while Russia has become the weight. China needs to hug her for warmth and gain momentum; the United States needs to improve relations with her in order to concentrate on dealing with China. As the power fluctuates, Moscow has become a sweet pastel in the competition between China and the United States.
The United States is also very aware of the decline in its own strength. In order to contain China, in the future, he is bound to take more measures to show his favor to Russia. Right now, the United States has an opportunity to consider how Russia's interests are considered when Ukraine's accession to the European Union, especially NATO's accession, and relax sanctions against Russia as the situation progresses. This may play a positive role and help Russia to adjust and coordinate with Russia. American relations.
On January 26 this year, the first week after Biden took office, the first call to foreign heads of state was also Putin. After visiting the main White House for five months, Putin was invited for talks during his first overseas visit. This has fully illustrated the weight of Russia. Some Russian analysts pointed out that Putin and Biden met as presidents for the first time. As long as they can be brought into the meeting, it is an achievement in itself.
On June 16, the US and Russian heads of state held a summit in Geneva. After the meeting, the two sides issued a joint statement announcing that the two countries will conduct bilateral strategic stability dialogues on issues such as arms control and reducing the risk of conflict. The two sides also agreed to conduct diplomatic consultations to allow the ambassadors of both sides to return to the host country to start work.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he and President Biden had a two-and-a-half-hour meeting, and the content was entirely on political topics. The results of the summit have determined the key positions on which the United States and Russia can approach. In the future, "to what extent the United States is prepared, to what extent we are ready to continue this kind of dialogue." Putin hopes that the situation of US-Russian relations in the past few years will not repeat itself.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova said on June 22 that the agreement reached by the two heads of state in Geneva is being actively implemented. The US responded relatively cautiously. "Reuters" quoted a U.S. official as saying: "This is not a strategic change. It will take some time to see if these potential areas of cooperation really have results."
So can the US-Russia summit really achieve the results expected by the US?
Zakharov, a senior Russian diplomat, said in an interview with the Russian Satellite News Agency that this is a constructive meeting dedicated to easing the relations between the two countries in the military and strategic field. Other experts believe that the US-Russia summit first talked about political and military strategy and other sensitive issues, and it seemed that the relationship between the two countries could be seen to develop in the direction of relaxation.
However, most media and experts agree that the summit is only symbolic. U.S.-Russian relations have been ossified for many years, and the ice breaking will face numerous obstacles.
The Chinese media is also very concerned about the contacts between the US and Russian heads of state and their subsequent development. Just a few days before the summit, the Global Times, a subsidiary of the People's Daily, interviewed Denisov, the Russian ambassador to China, and raised two sensitive issues.
The reporter asked him that the Biden administration might ease relations with Russia in order to concentrate on dealing with China. Will Russia alienate China and get closer to the United States?
Denisov replied: "This view is too short-sighted, it can't happen."
The reporter also asked, if there is an armed conflict between China and the United States, what position will Russia take?
Denisov said very skillfully: "This question will not have an answer, because I am convinced that there will be no armed conflicts between China and the United States, just as there will be no armed conflicts between Russia and the United States." Humans disappeared. Obviously, he was talking about nuclear weapons. This is also the consensus reached at the US-Russia summit: once a nuclear war breaks out, no one will win. But the question is, what if there is a localized conventional war between China and the United States? To be more specific, what about conventional armed conflicts due to the Taiwan Province issue?
Analyzing from the diplomatic terms of the ambassador, Putin will not be without a case. His first consideration is not the issue of position, but how to ensure Russia's maximum influence when conflicts between China and the United States, and then reverse and establish Russia's new historical position in the game of great powers. Therefore, this is also the main strategic consideration for the three countries of China, the United States and Russia not to talk about war, because any conflict between the two parties is tantamount to giving a third party an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, the best strategy is to maintain a balanced relationship between the three countries. Denisov has already expressed this idea in the interview and hopes that the trilateral relations between China, the United States and Russia can maintain a balance. This is not difficult to understand. He would say that Russia is short-sighted when it distances itself from China and approaches the United States.
Therefore, the current world situation is undergoing the biggest change in a century. The triangular relationship between China, the United States and Russia is also being readjusted. Maintaining a balance and acting in accordance with international rules should be the safest approach.
