A CHINA PREPARA-SE PARA A GUERRA

«Chinese President Xi Jinping bashed the Western-imposed sanctions that have been imposed on Moscow in the backdrop of its "special military operations". He called the sanctions "a double-edged sword" that can bring disasters to people around the world. Notably, his statement came during an opening ceremony of the BRICS Business Forum on Wednesday. According to the news agency Xinhua, the Chinese President has termed the sanctions a "politicised" step and added the actions were taken with an aim to weaponise the global economy.

Without naming the Biden administration, Jinping said that the sanctions were not imposed with an intention to penalise Moscow but to prove its dominance in international financial and monetary systems. According to China's head, the actions will eventually harm others and themselves and bring disasters to people around the world. Meanwhile, later, Xi Jinping called for joint efforts to seek and safeguard peace. "The Ukraine crisis has again sounded the alarm for humanity: Countries will surely end up in security hardships if they place blind faith in their positions of strength, expand military alliances, and seek their own safety at the expense of others," said Xi.

GUERRA NA UCRÂNIA: E NO FIM GANHA A CHINA?

«Xi Jinping réaffirme son soutien à son "vieil ami" Vladimir Poutine

Un soutien mutuel malgré la guerre en Ukraine, et au risque de crisper les relations entre Pékin et les Occidentaux. Face à la résistance ukrainienne et à l’unité des démocraties occidentales, qui ont pris des sanctions sans précédent contre elle, la Russie ne peut compter que sur la puissance chinoise pour échapper à un isolement économique total.

A plusieurs reprises, les puissances occidentales ont par ailleurs mis en garde Pékin contre tout soutien au régime du président russe, Vladimir Poutine, qui permettrait à Moscou d’atténuer l’impact des sanctions.

" En dépit des bouleversements mondiaux, les relations entre la Chine et la Russie ont maintenu une bonne dynamique de développement », a estimé mercredi M. Xi, appelant à « une coordination stratégique plus étroite" entre Pékin et Moscou. Le président chinois a également exposé sa vision pour mettre un terme à la guerre en Ukraine. Depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine, aucun appel entre Pékin et le président Zelensky n’a toutefois été rendu public.»

DA TRAGÉDIA À FARSA

Nos anos 30 e 40 do século XX os fascistas combatiam-se à porrada. Hoje, anos 20 do século XXI, o sururu é sobre se se deve — ou não — convidá-los para um chá. 

Entretanto, o mundo mudou mesmo e o Putin já lanchou com o Xi Jinping. O petit Macron não foi convidado.
