UN: China Asserts NATO Grestest Threat to World Peace! (17.7. 2024)

Fu said China believes that to build a more just and equitable international order, the focus should be on six areas: upholding sovereign equality in a multipolar system; respecting each nation’s development path without interference; building common security through dialogue; promoting inclusive economic globalization; upholding fairness and justice by strengthening the UN and developing countries’ voices; and fostering openness, dialogue and shared human values.

The Security Council meeting was chaired by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who said the US “has long declared its own exceptionalism”.

He said the United States requires “unquestionable obedience” from its allies, “even to the detriment of their national interests”.

Lavrov said that Rule America, “the essence of the notorious rules-based order”, is a “direct threat to multilateralism and international law”, adding that the UN Charter and the Security Council’s decisions are “perversely interpreted by the collective West”.

No Sympathy from the US!

Russia: Neo-Nazi Ukraine Behind Moscow Terror Attack – 140 Dead – 143 Still Missing! (30.3.2024)

As many as 143 people are still missing after last week’s attack near Moscow when gunmen sprayed concertgoers with automatic weapons and set the venue on fire, a Russian state news outlet reported on Wednesday.

The official toll from the attack on Crocus City Hall now stands at 140 dead and 182 wounded. But the state Tass news agency quoted Russia’s Investigative Committee as saying that 143 more people appeared in lists compiled by the emergency services based on appeals from people about missing relatives.

Xinhua Commentary: On China, Washington “Can’t Have it Both Ways”! (27.4.2023)

In the immediate days following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia and the United States enjoyed a honeymoon period. The Charter for American-Russian Partnership and Friendship signed by the two sides in 1992 said “the well-being, prosperity, and security of a democratic Russian Federation and the United States of America are vitally interrelated.” However, things changed when Washington failed to provide Kremlin with the promised economic aid and NATO expanded despite Washington’s promise that the bloc would move “not one inch eastward.” This was unacceptable to Russia, and the ensuing deterioration of Moscow-Washington ties was only natural.

Deep down, America had never intended to treat Russia with respect even though Western-style democratic elections took place in the country. Ideology is just an instrument to intervene.

For Beijing, Washington’s condescending diplomacy is unacceptable. If Washington truly wants a workable relationship with China, it should treat China as an equal partner and show due respect.
