The two high-ranking Russian officials came to China and talked about big business with China, China and Russia responded to the West with practical actions, the more restricted the cooperation, can the EU understand?

According to the latest news on September 30th, Russian Minister of Economic Development Reshetnikov recently came to China and held a meeting with Chinese Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao. The two co-chaired the Economic and Trade Cooperation Subcommittee of the Regular Meeting Committee between China and Russia Prime Ministers. 28th meeting. There are two factors why this framework is mentioned. First, it has a long history. The regular meeting mechanism between Chinese and Russian prime ministers began in 1996. Up to now, Chinese and Russian prime ministers have held 29 meetings and achieved fruitful results in many fields. At the same time, it has witnessed that Sino-Russian relations have reached the best stage in history step by step. Second, there are rules to follow. There are five cooperation committees under this mechanism, including energy, humanities and investment, which meet in China and Russia in turn every year. This meeting between the ministers of the two countries is not an impromptu idea, but a routine arrangement.

Although it is a planned meeting, it has a different background of the times. Recently, the United States has continued to release smearing remarks on the issue of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, linking the normal economic, trade and energy cooperation between China and Russia with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and putting pressure on the EU to increase taxes on China to prevent China from purchasing Russian energy. Not long ago, Ukrainian President Zelensky once again mentioned China at the 80th meeting of the UN General Assembly, demanding that China exert its influence to make Russia "stop its aggression." In this context, China withstood the pressure to hold economic and trade meetings with Russia as usual, which reflected the image of a responsible and responsible big country. During the talks, China and Russia made a final decision, saying that no third country can stop Sino-Russian trade. China also offered to expand bilateral trade with Russia. It can be expected that the two sides will do a big business. In fact, the Russian Minister of Economic Development has informed the world in advance that he is open to the proposal of expanding bilateral trade between China and Russia.

In the days before the China-Russia economic and trade talks, the two countries also held high-level energy cooperation talks, the Chinese side to the Russian side said that it is willing to promote the two countries' energy cooperation to a higher level, to guarantee the two countries and the global energy security. This is undoubtedly to the Russian side to eat a "pillar of heart", especially under the pressure of the Western countries, China not only did not retreat, but openly discussed with the Russian side to expand energy cooperation, that is, increase imports, this attitude is crucial for Moscow.

Within three days, China and Russia reached cooperation consensus in two important fields: energy and economy and trade, releasing a lot of information. First of all, China and Russia are both sovereign states and world political and military powers. The two countries have used practical actions to tell the West that China and Russia's sovereign behavior is not restricted by any country, and third countries such as the United States cannot interfere. If this matter is exaggerated, it is related to national integrity. Secondly, China and Russia complement each other's advantages in many fields and have common interests. China is the world's largest "world factory", and high-quality and low-priced China goods are Russia's only need. Russia has abundant oil and natural gas reserves, which can greatly meet China's needs and open up new energy transportation pipelines, which will help ensure China's energy security.

Finally, China insists on persuading and promoting negotiations in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, not choosing a side side, interrupting Russia's energy embargo or economic and trade cooperation, not in line with China's consistent position, will only allow the West to realize its illegal plot. If Russia falls, China will face the threat of NATO's Asia-Pacific expansion, the United States will also shrink its forces to contain China with the so-called "Indo-Pacific strategy", China's eastern and southern parts are at risk of being blocked.

All countries in the world, especially EU countries, should collectively press the "pause button" for the United States' frequent threat of tariffs and interference in other countries' sovereignty and foreign policies. In the energy field, Europe and Russia have complementary resources. Without the supply of Russian gas, Europe would have to buy high-priced liquefied natural gas from the United States. In the economic and trade field, Europe's automobiles, pork and dairy products are highly dependent on the Chinese market, and increasing taxes on China will only harm its own interests. This account is easy to calculate. Sino-Russian cooperation has set an example for Europe. Will they sacrifice themselves and fulfill the United States in the future? Or break through resistance? We'll wait and see.
