“Be careful. If you want a dangerous Russia, know that it can be very dangerous.” The Chinese ambassador to Russia, Zhang Hanhui, received the Italian Giorgio Starace at the Chinese representation in Moscow, eschewing “verbal balance and soft tones,” the Italian ambassador said in a report sent to Farnesina in recent days, like the Corriere della Sera writes .
The Chinese ambassador said: “By giving arms to Ukraine, you add fuel to the fire and then ask us for help to put out that fire.” It’s not fair, and it’s not even in our best interests. Ukraine is very far away from us. . And the thesis, reports Corriere, is that the end of hostilities can only be agreed after the parties have reached an “autonomous” agreement and the diplomat has made it clear that China has no particular interest in starting the war as soon as possible because in his opinion the break in relations between Europe and Russia will lead to the latter becoming more and more dependent on China, which “will never impose sanctions on Moscow”.
China, he claimed, was “a great economic and military power,” no longer “ready” to tolerate either American world domination or the continued Western interference in our internal affairs, “respect.” There is also the question of Taiwan and, according to the Chinese ambassador, “we have the second world economy and an increasingly powerful army, in “just four years we can build a fleet as big as the British one, we will not continue to accept abuses from outside “. The Chinese diplomat, the newspaper concludes, is beginning to envision a new world order, with most of the countries he says will not follow the West in the conflict, with alternative blocs consolidating, starting with Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, with the US seeing its key allies weaken, with Europe slipping into recession as soaring energy prices make companies less competitive in markets.
