Anti-Western Partnership Leads to Global Chaos and Russia's Takeover
No "ideologization," just business
Putin's three-day visit to China after his demonstrative refusal to participate in the Summit of the developed countries in the United States says that he does have something to discuss with the Chinese leadership. Moreover, this is an opportunity to demonstrate to the West that Putin has an alternative.
There is no doubt that he feels more comfortable in China, where nobody recalls human rights and democracy, deemed by Putin unnecessary "ideologization" of relations with the West.
Russia and China signed a dozen papers during Putin’s visit. However, it is unlikely that any breakthrough or making the agreements public will happen. In the energy domain, a priority for Russia, Beijing is willing to pay only half the price for Russian gas that the EU countries pay. China's proposition to invest in the development of the Far East includes a precondition that the Chinese companies employ only Chinese, who should obtain the freedom of movement to Russia.
