As the Sino-Russian relations become increasingly close, US media outlets have come out to sow discord, claiming that Russia is guarding against China! According to a report on June 7 by The New York Times, US media stated that the growing friendship between Russia and China is unshakable -- military and economic strategic cooperation between the two countries has entered a golden age. However, within the headquarters of the Federal Security Service (F.S.B.) of the Russian Federation, someone in a secret intelligence department referred to the Chinese as "enemies".
US media reported that China is closely monitoring Russia's military actions in Ukraine to understand Western weapons and combat methods. This intelligence official is concerned that Chinese scholars are laying the groundwork for territorial claims on Russian territory. This unit warned that China poses a "serious threat" to Russia's security. Officials from this unit stated that Beijing is increasingly attempting to "recruit" Russian spies to obtain sensitive military technology, and sometimes even "seduce" disgruntled Russian scientists.
What do we think about this report by US media? To be frank, such reports are deliberately sowing discord between China and Russia. In fact, everyone knows that both the Biden administration and the Trump administration hope to drive a wedge between China and Russia. The Biden administration pressured China to choose between Russia and the West, while the Trump administration's strategy was to woo Russia, keeping Sino-Russian relations distant. Now, US media claims that someone in a secret Russian intelligence department referred to the Chinese as "enemies." Since this is a confidential Russian institution, how did US media obtain such classified information?
The Sino-Russian border has long been demarcated, and there are no territorial disputes between the two countries. Using territorial issues as a pretext is merely a tactic employed by certain malicious forces. Is it not normal for China to closely monitor the war in Ukraine and understand Western weapons? Isn't this something all military agencies must do? As for the claim that we recruit spies to obtain sensitive information, what evidence does US media have? Is this just an imagined fantasy? Clearly, US media's reporting aims to drive a wedge between Sino-Russian relations, but the US will see that Sino-Russian relations will only grow closer.
