俄國總統普丁剛剛上任「第五個六年任期(!)」,第一站來到中國,要和習近平會談。看似中俄關係來到近年新高,但別忘了普丁上週「登基」的時候,習近平差不多是到了不聞不問的程度。紐約時報就分析,普丁想要聯中抗烏(克蘭),中國想要聯俄抗美,其實兩位各懷⋯喔不!是各有盤算😂
改寫自紐約時報:
When China’s Xi Jinping hosts President Vladimir Putin of Russia this week, the two leaders are expected to project unity to demonstrate that there is an alternative to the U.S.-led global system. But they have different agendas.
Mr. Putin is trying to escalate his war in Ukraine before Ukrainian forces can receive a replenishment of arms from the United States, and probably wants to know he can rely on China, which has provided a lifeline to the Kremlin ever since Western sanctions were imposed on Russia.
Mr. Xi considers Russia an important counterweight in China’s rivalry with the United States, but he risks alienating Europe, a key trading partner, at a time when China is relying on exports to revive its sluggish economy.
