Big brother in Russia suddenly stood on the platform? The Wanwan issue has added another variable
Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's recent statement is really surprising. This is the first time that he has openly supported cross-strait reunification! We all know that Russia has always kept a low profile on the Gulf issue, why did it suddenly change its tone? Does this mean that Sino-Russian relations are about to rise to a new height? Or does Lao Maozi have any other calculations?
What is the mystery behind Russia's U-turn in attitude?
Speaking of which, Russia's statement this time is really unexpected. You know, in the past, they have always maintained a "vague attitude" on the Wanwan issue. Why is it suddenly so straightforward?
If you look into it in detail, you have to start from last year. At the beginning of 2024, Putin the Great personally visited China and signed the "Sino-Russian Joint Statement" with us. In this statement, Russia made it clear that it recognizes the bay as an inalienable part of China. This is already quite a rare statement.
It didn't take long for Lavrov to catch up. In a commentary article, he directly stated that Russia firmly stands on the side of Chinese mainland on the Gulf issue. That's pretty straightforward, and it's not beating around the bush at all.
Interestingly, at the same time as Lavrov's remarks, the economic and trade cooperation between China and Russia also hit a new high. It is said that the total economic and trade volume between the two countries exceeded 240 billion US dollars last year, which is an incredible number!
Looking at the military cooperation between the two countries, the Chinese and Russian coast guards also conducted a joint patrol in the North Pacific last year. This is not a small move, and if it is not done, some countries will not be able to sit still.
What kind of medicine is sold in Lao Maozi gourd?
To be honest, Russia's sudden change in attitude makes one wonder what their intentions are.
Some people say that this is because Sino-Russian relations are getting more and more iron. Indeed, in recent years, the cooperation between the two countries in various fields can be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds. Especially after the Ukraine crisis, the West has imposed various sanctions on Russia, but China still maintains a cooperative attitude. This friendship is estimated to have moved Lao Maozi.
But others feel that Russia is actually playing a bigger game by doing so. They may be trying to use this to contain country M, after all, country M has not been less involved in the Wanwan issue. If Russia makes such a statement, it may be able to make country M have some scruples.
But then again, wouldn't Russia be a bit risky to do this? After all, the Wanwan issue is a sensitive topic, and if we are not careful, it is easy to cause turmoil in the regional situation.
What does this mean for us?
Is Russia's statement a blessing or a curse for us?
On the face of it, this is undoubtedly good news. After all, we have a strong ally on the Wanwan issue, which will definitely be beneficial to our position. Moreover, it also shows that Sino-Russian relations are indeed deepening.
However, we also have to think calmly, will this arouse the vigilance of other countries? In particular, will country M intervene more in the Gulf issue because of this? That's a bit more than worth the cost.
Besides, Russia now has a lot of problems to solve of itself. It's hard to say how much they can help us with the Wanwan issue.
Can relations between the two countries really flourish?
Although Russia's statement this time makes people feel that Sino-Russian relations seem to have gone further, we cannot be too optimistic.
There are still many differences between the two countries. In Central Asia, for example, the interests of the two countries are somewhat conflicting. Besides, Russia is now too busy to take care of itself, and it is really hard to say how much support it can give us.
Also, if we get too close to Russia, will it affect relations with other countries? It's a trade-off.
But then again, China and Russia do have common interests in many ways. For example, both countries want to build a multipolar world order. In this regard, there is still great potential for cooperation between the two countries.
What is the way forward?
In the final analysis, Russia's statement this time has indeed brought new variables to the Gulf issue. But we can't rejoice too soon.
Thinking back to the incident five years ago, at that time, country M also had some outrageous moves on the Wanwan issue. The result? Isn't it still pushed back by us with practical actions.
So, in the face of the current situation, we still have to stay calm. On the one hand, it is necessary to cherish the support of Russia; On the other hand, it is not possible to pin all your hopes on others.
The most important thing is that we must continue to stand our ground and resolve the Wanwan issue in a peaceful way. No matter how the external environment changes, we can't forget this original intention.
In the final analysis, the Wanwan issue is our own business. The attitude of foreigners is important, but what is more important is what we think and do. You say, don't you?
