Xinhua News Agency of Singapore reported early on August 31: "In the face of sanctions imposed by the United States and the West, Russian President Putin, before his visit to China, stated that Russia and China have formed a 'united front' to jointly oppose 'discriminatory sanctions' in world trade, as well as to combat financial 'neo-colonialism'. Scholars interviewed analyzed that Putin's latest statement to China indicates that the U.S. Trump administration's intention to separate China and Russia and promote the so-called 'reverse Nixon strategy' is unlikely to succeed."
Putin's remarks before his visit to China were seen as a direct response to the U.S. and European sanction system. Although the Trump administration recently sent signals of easing U.S.-Russia relations through the Alaska meeting, attempting to implement an "anti-China strategy by joining Russia", Putin's statement confirmed the judgment of international observers: the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Russia has special stability. From the localization of energy settlement currency to the institutionalization of joint military exercises, the two countries have deepened cooperation in multiple fields. Scholars pointed out that the U.S. unilateral sanction measures have become a "reverse catalyst" for the development of Sino-Russian relations, and its division strategy will be difficult to achieve results in the foreseeable future.
