As soon as the Chinese side announced the list of spectators for the September 3rd military parade, Ukrainian President Zelensky suddenly shouted, "I expect China to respond to the current situation." But just half a month ago, he also made it clear that "China does not need to provide security guarantees."

On August 28, Kiev was hit by the worst Russian air strike this month: missiles and drones exploded for nine hours, not even the European Union¡¯s office in Kiev, with NATO instructors in charge. Just a week before the air strike, Europe had just approved the United States to ship a batch of $8.5 billion worth of long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine, delivered from Europe and delivered within six weeks.

At the moment, European Union President von der Leyen and other European leaders are angry, scolding Putin while threatening to increase economic sanctions against Russia. But Zelensky is obviously more anxious. He "complained" to the United States and Europe while shouting through the media that China "presides over justice". It seems that he has completely forgotten that he just said that "China is not needed".

After the US-Russia meeting, Putin proposed to let China serve as a security guarantor, but Zelensky directly rejected it on the grounds that China "failed to prevent the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war." These words are actually very inexplicable. As a person who participated in the fight, he did not reflect on himself. Instead, he blamed the person who had been trying to pull the fight on the side for "not pulling hard enough."

Zelensky changed his face at this time, and the greater possibility is that on August 28, China just announced the list of observations for the 9.3 parade, and Russian state leader Putin was in the first place. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that just the first two days, President of the Russian State Duma, Volokyn, led the team in advance to Beijing, facing the media's explanation is to open a meeting of the Russian Parliamentary Cooperation Committee to discuss such topics as "to deal with sanctions, safeguard the truth of history."

And regarding Putin's visit to China, the Russian officials have given a very high rating of "the journey of the century", how to understand these four words?

Putin's visit to China this time is from August 31st to September 3rd. You must know that since 2012, Putin has never visited other countries for more than three days. Russian media themselves describe it as "unprecedented". Behind the break with convention is a major shift in Russia's geostrategy.

First, Putin wants to use the SCO summit to break the Western blockade. Many people think that after the meeting between the US and Russian heads of state, Russia will "change its mind" and turn to the West. But the reality is that the talks between the US and Russia collapsed, the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine was nowhere to be seen, Europe sanctioned up the ante, and Trump threatened to "hit Russia hard". Russia confronts the entire Western camp, and if it wants to find allies, it can only "look east". This year's SCO summit is the largest since its establishment. More than 20 heads of state including India, Iran, and five Central Asian countries attended. For Putin, this is an excellent window to unite the countries of the "Global South", whose energy, military industry, and trade are all supported by these partners, and this platform is set up by China.

Secondly, energy exports are Russia's "lifeblood". Now the Russian economy is fully supported by oil, and India is still under the pressure of Trump's secondary tariffs to buy Russian oil. If China reduces imports at this time, the Russian economy is likely to be directly "unable to bear it". So Putin's top priority in China this time is to finalize more long-term energy orders. In addition, Russia's agricultural and mineral products need to be digested by the Chinese market. After Western capital withdraws, light industry has to rely on Chinese companies to fill the position; artificial intelligence, chips and other "neck" fields can only ask China for help. The 4-day itinerary is to discuss these cooperation in depth.

Third, China and Russia should join hands to hold the right to speak in history. On the history of the Anti-Japanese War, China and Russia are in similar situations: the United States controls international public opinion, has always downplayed the contribution of the Soviet Union in World War II, and described the turning point of the European battlefield as "D-Day", but did not mention the defense of Stalingrad; So far, Japan has not acknowledged its invasion of China and refused to apologize. Before the 93rd military parade, Japan also tried to maliciously discredit and prevent the leaders of European and Asian countries from attending the military parade. Putin came to China at this time to work with China to counter the distortion of history by the West with facts.

Putin's "trip of the century" is actually Russia's strategic transformation after the failure of "looking west", completely putting the "national movement" in the east. This also made Trump's abacus of "uniting Russia to control China" completely fail. Therefore, on the Russia-Ukraine issue, Zelensky should be very clear about who is the most capable of influencing Putin.

Going back to Zelensky's propaganda, China's response can be called "textbook-level". At the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on August 28, spokesperson Guo Jiakun made it clear: "China's position on the Ukrainian crisis has always been clear, and dialogue and negotiation are the only feasible way out. We call on all parties to abide by the three principles of'no spillover on the battlefield, no escalation of the war, and no fire by all parties' to promote the cooling of the situation." It did not give Zelensky a chance to "hand the knife", but also reiterated China's position of promoting peace and talks.
