Outcome of #Putin visit to #China in terms of economic agreements signed:
✅ Agreement on supplies of Russian topinambour and beef by-products, particularly beef cartilage and stomachs to China
✅ Creation of a new nature reserve “Land of big cats”
✅ Cooperation between TASS and Xinhua news agencies
❌ Construction of Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline was not agreed
To me, these indicate an extremely close and strategic partnership between China and Russia, especially the beef cartilages are going to change the course of the world 😂
@kravietz i wouldn't be so sure beef cartilage was all that'll be going on between #fascist#russia and power-hungry authoritarian #china; it's just that in this situation most things shouldn't be announced :-(
@kravietz what could be worse, like P-800 missiles in the hands of Hezbollah terrorists, or P-270 missiles in CCP ships, it already happened. Unlike some undeveloped terrorists, there's Taiwan and it can develop their own. Hsiung Feng III missile is purely domestic stuff, and they can laugh at P-270 anytime

"The harder thing for us to sort of sit with, as Americans, is that there have been fascistic tendencies, fascistic movements in America ... for longer than we like to admit."
Putin ist zu Besuch in China - beim engsten Partner und Verbündeten. Doch nicht alle Anliegen, mit denen der russische Staatschef nach Peking gereist ist, dürften für China so leicht zu erfüllen sein. Von Benjamin Eyssel.
#Putin said he had appointed #Belousov, who was dressed in a civilian suit, due to rising defence and security spending which he said would amount to 8.7% of gross domestic product or a little more. That is still below the Soviet level of 13% in the mid-1980s.
Besuch in Peking: Warum Putin auf Xis Unterstützung hofft
Russlands Staatschef Putin reist nach China, um die "grenzenlose Partnerschaft" zu pflegen. Die hat Tücken: "Je destruktiver das russische Agieren, desto heikler die russisch-chinesischen Beziehungen", sagt Experte Hoppe.
