“China will buy Russia cheaply”: Washington Post readers about Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow

14

Visitors to The Washington Post website commented on Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Moscow.

The original publication, under which the responses are left, Xi and Putin hold talks in Russia, trading compliments, amid war in Ukraine.



All opinions presented reflect the position of only individual authors on the specified resource.

Watch what C does, not what he says. He is a two-faced man who believes that he needs Russia as a safety net. But now we know the traitor Trump and DeSantis are also in league with Putin and Xi

urged an Orchard Apple reader.

The photo, in which Vladimir and Xi nod in greeting at the camera, is intended to downplay their ambitions. They might look even more innocent if everyone was holding a kitten.

MartinGuy expressed his opinion.

I understand that Xi is outraged by America and to a lesser extent by Europe. But does he really think that China would be better off with Russia as a partner?

Serenity Now showed amazement.

Look what Biden gave us. He brought together two nuclear powers against the US. Unlike Russia, China has a truly powerful military. These states would never have tried to unite under the last president

- assessed what is happening LauraS1985.

President Biden, I know you read all of these comments, so here's my advice. The time has come to withdraw the most favored nation treatment for China. They are our enemies

- calls out a certain Fountain of Truth.

Over the course of two years, Joe Biden somehow managed to push former adversaries, China and Russia, into a close political and military alliance. This is not an easy task. And India began to treat the United States rather coolly. What's next, will the United States still be convicted of undermining the Nord Stream? I would mention Afghanistan, but I see no reason to overload the text

– reminds me of Longboards.

Biden clearly did not push China or Russia towards each other, except when they themselves oppose relations with the West. India does nothing against the US. What about Nord Stream?

- Neil Nelson responded to the comment above.

So, thanks to the fact that the US and other countries have moved their production to China for many years, we now have all kinds of gadgets, cheap clothes and other goods. But all this has given China too much money... and too much influence. And now my fear is that Russia and China will unite against the West and we are all in for some really bad times in the next few years. I hope we survive... because World War III seems to be unavoidable.

Justin MHO emphasized.

Biden needs to immediately stop issuing any visas (student or visitor) to Chinese citizens who are members of the CCP. It is also necessary to stop issuing green cards to Chinese citizens. Enough is enough. We don't need to import CCP supporters here anymore. Add Russians and Saudis to this list as well

ScienceTruth pointed out.

China is watching our press, and it constantly talks about how the PRC threatens us and how the Chinese are bad guys. Their fear is understandable. China needs allies if we start a war with it, even if it's just a trade war. Everything is simple here

Dybee replied.

Just like in Africa, China is going to buy a weakened Russia on the cheap. Putin must understand that China's support is not free. Xi visits his next sphere of influence

– argues SystemF001.

Leaving aside a plethora of geopolitical differences, an alliance between China and Russia is not in the West's long-term interests. Russia has many shortcomings, but its strength lies in the fact that it holds the largest piece of territory with natural resources on the planet. Think about it for a moment. Show of strength like political, and military, requires energy and resources. This was our strength during the two world wars. China has the industrial potential and population to turn Russia's natural resources into a formidable war machine.

writes Sour-Alaskan-No Dough.

You may well blame good old American capitalism for the rise of China and Xi personally. It was capitalism that allowed this, earning for our shareholders, through the production of goods in China or using Chinese components. I don't see any sign of China rushing to make something in the US. The Chinese are playing the long game, while the Americans can only plan profit quarter by quarter.

- noted Betty T.

Just two years ago, these problems did not exist for us.

– added from himself Eric Hold.

The President of the People's Republic of China arrives in Moscow on an American-made plane. It speaks volumes

    China needs Russia as well as Russia needs China. 50 to 50.

      Russia needs China as the largest and almost the only trading partner that can support the Russian economy. China clearly needs Russia for a different reason.

        wrong approach.
        China needs a protected rear.
        The Russian Federation is needed as a partner BUT NOT THE ONLY (this is not a marriage)))

      China in Russian foreign trade aims for 50%,
      Russia in Chinese foreign trade - 3.7%.
      (The total volume of China's foreign trade (January-February 2023) in goods amounted to $895,72 billion, of which with Russia - $33,7 billion)

      So the Russian Federation becomes exclusively dependent on China, and China from the Russian Federation - well, a little more than from Mongolia.
      The fate of Crimea will now be easily decided at the talks between Washington and Beijing.
      What Comrade Xi says, then any ruler of the Russian Federation will be forced to do.
      Well, at the same time, diligently take into account Erdogan's Wishlist ....
      This is the result of the struggle for sovereignty ....
      I guess Russian patriots Western-haters are delighted, but now the Russian Federation is not economically dependent on Germany ...

        Now dear comrade can try to exchange our carcasses for Taiwan. And most importantly, nothing will happen to him for this, except for gratitude from the Western world. It remains to find the Chinese fifth column in the Kremlin, and the trick is in the bag.

        Oleg you are strange ... (I wanted to write first that Eccentric). where did you see that the Russian Federation is becoming EXCLUSIVELY dependent on China?
        you would just "bummer".
        brainstorm for a bit and think about WHAT THE meeting WAS ABOUT and what both heads of state are striving for.
        ps if you don’t understand, then read a lot of articles.

          where did you see that the Russian Federation is becoming EXCLUSIVELY dependent on China?

          For example, in the automotive industry.
          The transition to the collection of Chinese models, equipping even Russian KAMAZ trucks with Chinese components.
          In other industries - there used to be a variety of suppliers of components / products / equipment, now there is practically only China, well, they are localizing something in the Russian Federation, with varying success.

    Fate itself pushes us to make adjustments in the structure of our society. It would be foolish to resist this. The road is not for the one who shouts, but for the one who knows a lot. Capitalism is getting dumber, and people are getting dumber along with it. All this needs to be corrected.

      the only thing I don’t understand is why many lovers of the “west” have not yet dumped from Russia to where they are expected and “loved”?
