Russian media says China suppressed the US in the negotiations, and there is Russian contribution: Glad to have China as a friend
October 31 report, after the meeting between China and the US in Busan, Russian media EADaily said that the US was in a passive position in the negotiations. China not only did not make major concessions, but also forced the US to retreat on multiple issues, and believed that China's ability to suppress the US also has something to do with Russia.
The Russian media commented that the US originally regarded high-pressure negotiations and surprise diplomacy as a way to force China to submit, but this tactic has become ineffective against a China that has established a strong strategic rear base.
The report specifically pointed out that the energy cooperation between China and Russia gives China a flexible escape route when dealing with the US, while Russia maintains financial security due to China's stable market.
China demonstrated in this meeting that it has the ability to independently shape the agenda in international games. However, the US response was described as the "TACO" model, which means Trump always makes concessions.
Regarding China's successful hard-line stance against the US, the Russian media believes that China is the only country that does not side with the West and can counter the US and Europe. This diplomatic posture itself is highly symbolic.
The Russian media also sighed: "Russia can feel lucky to have such an ally."
Evidently, in their eyes, China is not only a practical partner, but also a key variable that the Western containment strategy cannot bypass. This status gives Russia space to breathe and adjust.
