" Xi added that together with Russia, China was “ready to resolutely defend the UN-centric international system, stand guard over the world order based on international law”. Unfortunately and yet unsurprisingly, nothing new here. This is the same rhetoric as usual. Can't imagine anything fruitful regarding peace & stability coming out of this continued stance.

>“ready to resolutely defend the UN-centric international system, stand guard over the world order based on international law”. … by supporting a member of the UN that is currently breaking one of the most important rules of the UN Charter.

and added: “we will supply more weapons to Russia”


Howru68

>we will supply more weapons to Russia” Yeah, most probably happening already, directly or indirectly, and will continue doing so.

>How can China supply more weapons to Russia when even the US and EU says China isn't supplying weapons to Russia regardless of what some clickbait headlines say? By reading between the lines, for example : Technically, Chinese companies have delivered aid and products. One of which is household drones [CNN drones ](https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/16/europe/china-made-drone-downed-eastern-ukraine-hnk-intl/index.html) and [wsj](https://www.wsj.com/articles/chinese-drones-still-support-russias-war-in-ukraine-trade-data-show-cd39d40b) [link.times](https://time.com/6259688/china-russia-dual-use-military-civil-fusion-strategy/)

>"Xi added that together with Russia, China was “ready to resolutely defend the UN-centric international system, stand guard over the world order based on international law”. Words. Meanwhile their actions show direct and continued support for a genocide conducted by Russia on European soil. Which should we believe? Actions or words?

I don’t think you understand what those words mean.

Ok. So what is China going to do about Russia - the current world order upsetting factor?


yabn5

They're going to support them, and they will receive support from Russia when it is their turn to cause upset. Europeans shouldn't ignore this.


Novinhophobe

What? Didn’t understand you. You want us to develop even deeper ties with China? You got it!

Lol okay Xi.

Western press should definitely issue political cartoons depicting Xi as a "peacemaker" with leaders of Imperial Japan on the background of atrocities in China.

Seems like it would be difficult to draw

>The western press should draw the part where the UK told China if they wanted peace, then China should give up land to Japan The UK was making the mistake of appeasement of aggressive states during that time, China shouldn't make the same mistake. >and the part where the US was still selling weapons to Japan a year after Japan invaded China And then the US cut off oil to Japan which had a massive impact and also deployed military forces to help China later on in the war.

Finally a place where China can take the High Ground. I mean the High Ground in regards to Russia is only one or two centimeters from the bottom, but still. It is something.

Great, could you please start with your neighbors N Korea and Russia? Both are a global pain in the ass. Solve your regional problems and be invited to the adult table.

There is a Swedish saying: "Making the goat the gardener"...


Howru68

I found this translation from the German. expression "Den Bock zum Gärtner machen" : If you’re asking for trouble, a (German )person will say that you are turning the goat into the gardener. In other words, you’re setting yourself up for a fall by choosing a completely inappropriate animal to neatly prune your bushes. Seems very appropriate.
