Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are colluding to reverse the democratic gains made by the world following the fall of the Berlin Wall and to destroy the liberal international order, according to experts.
Jianli Yang and Lianchao Han, writing in Providence said that the West must not let Xi Jinping protect Putin and give the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) another “strategic opportunity”.
The crisis in Ukraine has taught the democratic world a grave lesson: appeasement of tyrannical dictators will inevitably wreak havoc around the globe on the ever-fragile state of freedom, democracy, and rule of law. It could even threaten the entirety of human civilization in the case of nuclear war.
Jianli and Lianchao said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a dangerous activity in which the two dictators are conspiring to change the global landscape and establish their tyrannical dominance in the new world order.
After US President Joe Biden’s nearly two-hour video call with Xi Jinping on March 18, the media widely believed that the US had obtained two bottom-line commitments from China: no military aid to Russia and no economic aid to Russia in direct violation of the United States-led economic sanctions.
Even if China maintains these two commitments, they do not indicate an essential shift from its refusal to condemn Russia’s aggression and call it an invasion or even a war, reported Providence.
Indeed, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to criticize the West for cornering a nuclear power and continues to denounce the international community’s economic sanctions against Russia.
China and Russia’s real intentions are to dominate the world and restore their past glory, which necessitates that they weaken America’s power and create a new world order, said Jianli and Lianchao.
