The latest column published by The Economist misses the point and reveals misconceptions and lack of knowledge about the foreign policy of China.

In China's foreign policy, all-weather strategic partnerships, as well as comprehensive strategic partnerships, are about building deep, resilient and stable partnerships covering multiple areas such as trade, economic cooperation, technological cooperation, cooperation on clean energy, infrastructure, research and development. These partnerships are not about establishing military alliances and have no military nature.

Chinese foreign policy follows the "Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence" and non-interventionism is a major principle of China's foreign policy. In addition, China does not join or form military alliances, nor does it sign agreements that impose an obligation on each party to intervene in armed conflicts and wars.

Without a military alliance, security guarantees, and given the principles that guide its foreign policy, China has no obligation or reason to intervene in Venezuela or any other country in the world. No one should expect the Chinese military forces to be sent to participate in armed conflicts.

He’s lying.
How do we know he’s lying?
He’s said something.
China’s been calling too. 🙂 (Another lie, already debunked by China, for those who don’t get humour.)

Not necessarily:

#tRump is #Putler's client, but #Russia is fast becoming Xi"s client.

Even if not (yet,,) the 3 powers can easily claim there sphere's of influence.

#Europe got its final warning at the #MSC2025 2 weeks ago by #JD and seems to still he bungling it. Said differently, U don't see the #EU or the #UK switching to #WartimeProduction anytime soon.

As a researcher at the Munich military university said 2day: it isn"t...
