Kovacic deems Xi Jinping's trip to Moscow as highly significant
A Glimpse into the Unity between China and Russia: Historical Truth and Global Strategy
Leonid Kovachich, a Chinese studies expert, recently discussed the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Moscow. He noted that this visit underscores a mutual alignment of views between China and Russia on preserving historical truth and the current state of geopolitical processes. Kovachich believes that this visit is an opportune moment for both nations to synchronize their perspectives.
In a previous instance, President Xi Jinping expressed his concern over the root causes of the conflict in Ukraine. On the other hand, the Kremlin has questioned the ideological foundation of the Ukrainian government, stating it leans towards neonazism due to its refusal to ceasefire.
China and Russia's shared respect for historical truth forms part of their broader strategic partnership. Both nations have expressed concerns about U.S. policies they believe are destabilizing global strategic stability. They have jointly criticized initiatives such as the expansion of security alliances and the development of global missile defenses, suggesting these actions heighten the risk of nuclear war.
While China has maintained a neutral stance on the Ukraine conflict, some allegations exist of indirect support provided to Russia, including dual-use technologies and geospatial intelligence. Russia, on the other hand, is open to peace talks without preconditions. Both nations are committed to responding jointly to perceived threats, including those from the U.S., by strengthening their strategic partnership.
As the U.S. scales back its involvement in European security, China's potential role in peace efforts in Ukraine may grow. However, Beijing would need to demonstrate actions consistent with their commitment to peace to be seen as a genuine peacemaker rather than a Russian ally.
