Trump and Putin confirmed that they would meet in a third country, and at this time, suddenly, foreign media came to ask the Chinese opinions, what was the plot?
a few days ago The presidents of the United States and Russia held a two-hour phone call and confirmed that a summit would be held in a third country next.。 Interestingly, the news just came out, and soon there was A French media reporter came to ask me what the Foreign Ministry was saying about this.China is not a party directly involved in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but a third party, and it is also a public fact that China has always advocated that Russia and Ukraine maintain restraint and solve the problem through dialogue, why should French media journalists ask the Chinese side about preparing for the summit?
Referring to the news Trump revealed, the summit will be held in Budapest, Hungary’s capital, that is, this summit, Hungary may host as a third country, and this is actually a bit unexpected, why? because the last US-Russian summit was not held in a third country, but in Alaska, the United States. so this summit is more suitable if it is to show the position of the US-Russian two countries on the same level, choosing to be held in the Russian mainland, but in the present reality, according to Trump, he will go to meet with Putin in Hungary.
Putin is about to leave the capital Moscow and head to Budapest, from this detail, Putin has actually made some subtle concessions to the United States.Why? In fact, for Putin, this is also an impossible way, before this call, Trump has more than once publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Putin, even a few days ago, he has made similar statements, and before there was news that Trump was preparing to assist Ukraine's "Tax" cruise missiles, if these aid are in place, the threat facing Russia will not allow Putin to lessen. Therefore, as long as it is possible to ensure that Trump does not provide "Tax" to Ukraine, in the selection of the summit venue, Putin is not unacceptable, despite this, the transmitted political signal is not very beneficial for Russia.
To introduce here, maybe some friends will be very strange, these are all U.S. Russian things, and French journalists have nothing to do with it? reason is simple, French journalists are likely to use this to test the attitude of China. Look, this time U.S. Russia in the phone all agreed, Putin also made some concessions to Trump in this detail of the summit location, which illustrates what the question? Putin is very concerned about the American attitude.。
At the same time, you may wish to link this signal with current Sino-US relations. What is the current Sino-US relationship? Obviously it's definitely not harmoniousThe trade disputes between China and the United States have become somewhat tense. Therefore, at this time, as Russia shows its intention of being "close" to the United States, French journalists probably want to take the opportunity to test China's attitude. We even have reason to believe that they want to see China's "jokes".
However, the result disappointed them. Regarding this matter, China Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian handed out ten words, saying that China "welcomes Russia and the United States to maintain contact." Obviously, French media people underestimate China. They feel that China, like the United States, is full of unilateral game ideas, but in fact they are wrong: First, China does not mind the United States and Russia strengthening dialogue to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict; moreover, for China, Russia is a reliable partner. Just a few days ago, Russia also made it clear that it will not unite with other countries to target China. Therefore, Putin attaches great importance to dialogue and relations with the United States, which will have no negative impact on China.
