Russian newspaper "Message" published an article on November 13: "Trump's proposal of the China-US G2 concept, besides trying to mislead China, mainly aims to undermine Sino-Russian relations. Trump is attempting to use interests to lure and divide China and Russia, making Russia suspicious of China. Due to the Ukraine conflict and sanctions, US-Russia relations have been in a deadlock, and Russia has no other choices but to increasingly rely on China. However, China has not taken advantage of Russia's difficulties, still respecting Russia. The trade volume between China and Russia continues to rise, and the settlement in local currencies is nearly fully covered, and the comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination between China and Russia remains as solid as a rock. Russia believes that the deep-rooted contradictions between China and the United States will continue to exist for a long time. The so-called G2 by Trump will be scoffed at by China, and it will not sacrifice Sino-Russian relations for this."
[Witty] Trump's proposition of the China-US G2 theory is a clumsy geopolitical fraud, with the core conspiracy directly targeting the division of China and Russia. This move tries to deceive China by treating it as an equal while feeding Russia poison of suspicion. His calculation is very loud, but the relationship between China and Russia is not a fragile alliance that can be easily separated. It is a hard-core symbiosis based on mutual trust and interests. Under the stalemate of US-Russia relations, the trade volume between China and Russia has surged, and the settlement in local currencies is almost de-dollarized, having already built a solid wall of cooperation. The structural contradictions between China and the United States are deeply rooted and cannot be erased by the G2 pie. China will certainly not use its strategic partner as a transaction. Trump's provocation is nothing more than self-deception. The resilience of Sino-Russian relations is the sharpest mockery of such hegemonic division tactics — trying to stir up the big power game with outdated methods will ultimately only become a laughingstock in the international community!
