Tomorrow the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a group of countries that includes China and Russia, will meet. According to foreign commentator Bernard Hammelburg, Vladimir Putin ultimately feels not alone in the world with this group. “He still receives support from these countries and has managed to maintain his popularity reasonably well.”
Even from China? According to Hammelburg, the New York Times wrote that Chinese President Xi Jinping was shocked by the Wagner Group’s failed attempt to assume military authority in Russia. “As crazy as it sounds, I have a feeling that Xi is letting Putin down a bit, because Putin acted very sensibly and efficiently by arresting the top military officials and, as it were, putting Wagner’s boss Prigozhin out of action. “.
But the Chinese president sees it differently. Xi sees it as a crack in Putin’s natural leadership, something she cannot tolerate. According to him, leadership should never be questioned,’ explains Hammelburg.
“If China appears to be a little hesitant, the West thinks it’s great news”
This doubt of China, according to Hammelburg, is in favor of the Western alliance. “If China appears to be a little hesitant, the West thinks it’s great news.”
