@vtchakarova RT by @badiucao: For most of you, who were not paying attention, it comes as a surprise that Mikhail Mishustin has met Xi Jinping for third time in a row. China and Russia already reached the goal of $200 B trade (current volume is 218B). #DragonBear #geoeconomics https://nitter.hongkongers.net/vtchakarova/status/1737747356152430994#m

Indeed, both Scholz and Macron are inadequate and utterly unprepared for the global system shifts and the modus operandi of the #DragonBear. They are also triggering the worst bifurcation of Europe since the end of the Cold War between the Franco-German bloc and the Anglosphere. https://twitter.com/ulrichspeck/status/1645030074062651395

“Macron driven by national great power ambition. Scholz driven by mercantilism. Both inadequate at a moment when the liberal, rules-based order is threatened by Russia and China.”

I love how Dr Bibek Debroy - polymath and Chairman, Economic Advisory Council to the Indian PM - defines the śloka from the Maha Upanishad where the theme of India's G20 Presidency, 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam', comes from.

He defines it as laying down a process of discovering one's mindset & purpose, which is fundamental to how one interacts with others. (Clip of his definition: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxgdQjbxzzI_hXe2SYaTnltmbktesluH0N.)

Something of relevance to understanding how states play geopolitics.

--> If India's G20 advertising/other materials quoted the full śloka, it could be used as a subtweet against the #DragonBear (as coined by the sage, Velina Tchakarova).

Does China distance itself from Russia because of war against Ukraine? A terrific @FT piece helps to understand how Beijing wants its policy towards Moscow to be seen in Western capitals. Spoiler alert: the real policy might be very different. Let me help to unpack it. 1/

Beijing "will never forge a true alliance w/ Russia that would require China’s leaders to coordinate policy more closely or that would bind them to mutual defense. … The stronger China becomes, … the more Beijing may prod Moscow to align its interests with China’s." #dragonbear
