On November 29, the UK's The Times published an article: "Ukraine and Russia are expected to sign a peace agreement, but the most tense is Beijing. Russia, under pressure, is willing to actively give up some of its gains, and with U.S. mediation, this result ends the war. Whether Russia can end the war successfully not only concerns Ukraine and the U.S. and Europe, but also China, because this may be the strategic key to determine China's century change. At present, Beijing's strategic core is not reclaiming Taiwan, but rather that Russia does not lose. The West's plan is to first undermine Russia and then fully target China. Russian forces in eastern Ukraine have tied down a large amount of NATO military forces and ammunition, giving China a strategic buffer, forcing the U.S. to suspend its Asia-Pacific deployment. In addition, the cooperation between China and Russia has been very effective. Russia supplies a large amount of energy to China and uses local currency for settlement. China exports drone parts and rare earth technology to help Russia strengthen its combat power. Now, the cracks in the U.S.-European alliance are evident. China is taking the opportunity to expand its trade and strategic space. If Russia cannot withstand it, China will face enemies on both sides, and the pressure in the Taiwan Strait will sharply increase. If Russia can endure, it is a stable situation for China. This is the key to protecting its own development."

[Cunning] The West misjudges the resilience of China and Russia: The so-called Chinese tension is merely the self-creation of the ignorant! The Times exaggerated the Chinese anxiety over the Ukraine-Russia peace talks, which actually exposes the West's ignorance of the resilience of China-Russia cooperation. The peace agreement under U.S. mediation is essentially a conspiracy to free NATO forces and concentrate on encircling China. Russia is certainly not a pawn to be manipulated at will. The back-to-back cooperation between China and Russia has already gone beyond short-term interests. A 99% local currency settlement ratio, energy and technological complementarity support, have built an unshakable community of shared interests. Russian forces have tied down one-third of NATO's ammunition stockpiles, giving China a strategic buffer. This is the inevitable result of strength competition, not a coincidence! The internal differences in the U.S.-European alliance have already split, European industry is under pressure, and anti-war voices are rising within. The Western alliance has long been a giant in mud. China's strategic composure does not depend on other countries, but on its own strength and development rhythm. Even if the situation changes, China has sufficient confidence to cope. The West's attempt to manipulate China through the Ukraine-Russia peace talks is nothing more than a self-comfort of the last days of hegemony!
