There is no more american hegemony. No more Western hegemony. No more colonial/ Imperial mind set. That era is over and will never return . The world is heading towards multi polarity.
there shall be no peace until this basic fact is taken into account.
Putin does not want to control the whole of Ukraine. Putin is open to negotiations that results in ceasefire, peace and Russia in control of Donbass, recognition of Donbass as part of Russia and neutrality for rest of Ukraine.
Putin's plans are doable and surely offers the best chance for peace. And good for the world.
Xi and Putin are in agreement with this, and also the global south is on board with Putin and Xi.
u think american hegemony . western hegemony still got chance meh? Time is on the side Putin / Xi/ global south . U think western hegemony can still win meh?
like angry cat says, the American empire is already over extended and interest payments alone will force them to keep printing money. That is why Xi plans include a mechanism to stop America from irresponsible printing of money that affects the whole world.
Russia does not want new territory, it's already too big, the war in Ukraine was cause by US installing a puppet in Kiev, and the fake president begins bullying and killing Russian in Donbass
NATO+, AUKUS, Indo-Pacific able to form a strong and soild alliance to resist evil alliance. Any evil want to extend the land boundaries will be defeated.
Ukraine is a democratic country and the government elected by their citizens. Ukraine has the rights to join any organisation. Evil killer Putin will be defected so as those evil power crazy dictators.

I keep on reminding you all CCP top guns family love America and they are not really anti westerns, so don't misunderstanding. You all should support CCP family to do so in harmony and peaceful manners.
Russia with 130 million people will not lose in Ukraine. and Russians like Chinese in mainland are a resilient people. They can eat bitter and will not lose. Eventually, what happens is, neutrality for Ukraine or what is left of it. Nato gives up its ambition to expand into Ukraine. Ukraine split into two through negotiations and ceasefire. Just like North and south Korea. The sooner the peace process begins the better for everybody. Xi and Putin is clear about that. The global south is also clear about that and is on board with Xi and Putin.
There is no more american hegemony. No more Western hegemony. No more colonial/ Imperial mind set. That era is over and will never return . The world is heading towards multi polarity.
One of my favourite is Russian patriotic songs. Very similar to Chinese ones.
A lot of similarity between China and Russia. Both deep in history. Distinctive culture, literature, very patriotic, victims of imperialism, victims of long wars and external invasions, both long identified with global south , both support global south in their independence wars against western imperialism. And both share a long border. It is good for both that Putin and Xi shares the same vision, both like each other and China Russia at peace
Actually it is not just just at the top. The reality is ordinary Russians and ordinary Chinese get along very well with each other sharing mutual respect and love.
China will continue its reform and opening up. Open for business open for investment. Learn from every civilization. Pick the best practises that are suitable for China and reject what is not suitable
I keep on reminding you all CCP top guns family love America and they are not really anti westerns, so don't misunderstanding. You all should support CCP family to do so in harmony and peaceful manners.
CCP will keep on transferring corrupted money to America and make America great again.
Chinese nationalists are annoyed about colonial-era place names
In China, the far-eastern Russian city of Vladivostok has been known traditionally as Haishenwai, meaning “sea-cucumber bay”. More to the point, as these patriots point out, it was once ruled by China.
Chinese have dared to recall how their country ceded vast swathes of territory, including Vladivostok, to the tsarist empire back in the 19th century. In the past month they have fumed on social media over the “unequal treaties” that wrested away this land.
i don't know what life means to you, you can continuously claim that Putin is a big hero and will success in the war. but what is this war u mentioned all about? have you really sat down and go deep inside your heart and ask?
it is merely the invader trying to take control of other country to satisfy his own uncontrollable ambition and it is the excuses that criminal is trying to rationalize his unethical action.
you can also continuously claim that what on earth previously western also kill what, what big deal?
isn't it we all know that was too unethical hence we shouldn't have let it happen again. but look at how CCP propaganda to take it to rationalize the Putin invasion to Ukraine and to reach out to you.
just sat down and go deep inside your heart frens.

CCP loves American hegemony.
If Xi and CCP top guns thought that CCP so good, America and western so hegemony and so bad, why did CCP top guns family migrate to America and western ? Why not migrate to Ukraine and North Korea ?
History is not a picture but a story a video over time. History has context, has time lines, has concerns , and peace, real peace needs mutual respect and concerns and yes, Russia is not a sick cat u can push around.
well, in recent years 20,000 top scientists has return to work in china. Its no longer a brain drain for China. It has become a reverse brain drain for America.

And I am glad Russians love their Chinese EV that now replace the BMW and Mercedes as a result of the sanctions.
Russia and China have been neighbors and rivals in the Far East for over three centuries. Nevertheless, the number of major conflicts between them can be counted on one hand. The Sieges of Albazin In 1650, Cossack detachments sent by Moscow Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich to explore the east of Siberia reached the Amur River, which flows into the Pacific Ocean. That was when Russians, for the first time in history, came into large-scale contact with Chinese civilization.
Of course, Russians and the Chinese had learned about each other much earlier: in the Middle Ages they were "introduced" to each other by the Mongols during their campaigns of conquest. However, back then, there were no permanent contacts between the two peoples, and not much interest in establishing them.
In the second half of the 17th century, the situation was completely different. The arrival of Russian troops on the banks of the Amur, inhabited by Daurian tribes, who paid levies to the Qing Empire, was perceived by the latter as an invasion of its zone of interests. For their part, the Cossacks intended to force “prince Bogdai”, about whom they had learnt from the Daurs, into subordination to the Russian tsar, without realizing that the “prince” was none other than the powerful Chinese emperor himself.
For several decades, Russian troops clashed with Chinese and Manchu troops (the Manchu dynasty came to power in China in 1644). The conflict culminated in the two sieges of the Albazin fort, which Russia intended to turn into its stronghold in the conquest of the Far East.
For several weeks in June 1685, a Russian garrison of 450 men withstood a siege by the Qing army (which numbered from 3,000 to 5,000 men). Their large numerical advantage notwithstanding, the Chinese and Manchu soldiers were inferior to the Russians in combat training, which allowed Albazin to withstand the siege. Nevertheless, not hoping for the arrival of reinforcements, the garrison capitulated on honorable terms and retreated to join the rest of the Russian forces.
Russia, however, had no intention of giving up so easily. A year later, Russians restored the dilapidated fortress, which had been abandoned by the Chinese, and were once again besieged by the Qing troops. In fierce assaults, the enemy lost up to half of its 5,000-strong army, but still was not able to seize Albazin.
Under the terms of the Treaty of Nerchinsk of 1689, the Russian troops left the fortress, which was then destroyed by the Chinese. Despite achieving a temporary victory, the bloody battles for Albazin made it clear to Beijing that driving the Russians out of the Far East would not be so easy.
Another important theater of military operations between the Russians and the Chinese was Manchuria. Russia had big plans for that region. Taking advantage of China's crushing defeat in the war against Japan in 1895, it managed to sign a number of agreements with the Chinese government, under which it received the right to lease part of the Liaodong Peninsula (where the Port Arthur naval base was immediately created) and to build the Chinese Eastern Railway (CER), linking the peninsula to Russian territory and running through the whole of Manchuria. The railway belonged to Russia, which had sent some 5,000 soldiers to protect it.
In the end, Russia's active penetration into the region would lead to its disastrous clash with Japan in 1904. A couple of years prior to that, Russian positions in Manchuria were attacked by the Yihetuan. They destroyed sections of the Chinese Eastern Railway under construction, pursued Russian construction workers, railway workers and soldiers, and brutally tortured and killed those they could capture.
Railway personnel and guards managed to take refuge in Harbin, a city founded by the Russians in 1898 and where the railway head office was based. For almost a month, from June 27 to July 21, 1900, the 3,000-strong garrison fought off 8,000 Yihetuan and Qing troops, who supported them.
To save the situation, Russian troops were dispatched to Manchuria. At the same time, St. Petersburg emphasized that Russia had no intention to seize Chinese territory. After they lifted the siege of Harbin and took part in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion, the troops were indeed withdrawn, but not before the Qing government in 1902 once again confirmed Russia's rights to the naval base in Port Arthur and the Chinese Eastern Railway.
The Chinese Eastern Railway became the cause of another conflict almost 30 years later, except that both China and Russia were by this time completely different countries. The fall of the Russian Empire and the subsequent Civil War resulted in Russia temporarily losing control over the CER. The Japanese tried to get their hands on it, but to no avail.
When the USSR gained strength and once again raised the issue of the Chinese Eastern Railway, it had to agree to joint control over it with the Republic of China, which was reflected in a 1924 treaty. At the same time, joint management was marred by constant conflicts. The disagreements were fanned by numerous White émigrés, who had settled in Harbin and sought to foment enmity with the Bolsheviks.
By 1928, Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang party managed to unite China under its banners and focused on seizing the CER by force: Chinese troops occupied sections of the railway, carried out mass arrests among its Soviet employees and replaced them with Chinese staff or White emigrants.
Since the Chinese began to rapidly build up their armed forces on the border with the USSR, the Red Army command decided that the Special Far Eastern Army, which was greatly outnumbered (16,000 men against 130,000 Chinese troops spread over different directions), should act preemptively and destroy individual enemy groupings one by one, while they did not have time to join forces.
In the course of three offensive operations in October-December 1929, the troops of the Republic of China were defeated. The Chinese lost 2,000 soldiers, with over 8,000 taken prisoner, while the USSR lost fewer than 300 soldiers. Once again in the history of Russian-Chinese conflicts, Russian soldiers' better combat training outweighed the numerical superiority of the Chinese.
As a result of peace negotiations, the USSR regained control over the Chinese Eastern Railway and secured the release of Soviet workers arrested by the Chinese. However, blood spilt for the railway turned out to be in vain. Two years later Manchuria was invaded by Japan, a much stronger enemy than China. The Soviet Union, feeling that it could not maintain control over the Chinese Eastern Railway, sold it to the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo in 1935.
In the 1960s, China had grown significantly stronger and felt confident enough to present its neighbors with territorial claims. In 1962, it fought a war with India over the disputed region of Aksai Chin. And it wanted the Soviet Union to return the small deserted island of Damansky (known in China as Zhenbao, meaning "precious") on the Ussuri River.
Talks held in 1964 ended in nothing, and against the backdrop of deteriorating Soviet-Chinese relations, the situation around Damansky escalated. The number of provocations reached 5,000 a year: the Chinese demonstratively crossed into Soviet territory, making hay and grazing their cattle there, and shouting that they were on their own land. Soviet border guards had to literally push them back.
In March 1969, the conflict entered a “hot” phase. The fighting on the island involved more than 2,500 Chinese soldiers, who were opposed by about 300 border guards. A Soviet victory was achieved through the use of BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket systems.
“Eighteen combat vehicles fired a salvo, and 720 100-kg artillery rockets were launched towards the target in a matter of just a few minutes! When the smoke cleared, everyone saw that not a single shell hit the island! All 720 rockets flew 5-7 km further, deep into Chinese territory, and smashed a village with all the headquarters, rear services and hospitals with everything that was there at the time! That is why everything went so quiet: the Chinese did not expect such impudence from us,” recalled a participant in those events, Yuri Sologub.
In the fighting for Damansky, 58 Soviet and 800 (according to official data, 68) Chinese soldiers were killed. The USSR and China agreed to freeze the conflict, effectively turning the island into a no-man's land. On May 19, 1991, it was transferred to the jurisdiction of the PRC.
So which country invaded Chinese most in history ?
HONG KONG (Reuters) -China's Country Garden may announce a restructuring of its offshore debt soon, local media reported, while bondholders of embattled peer China Evergrande (HK:3333) Group raised concerns about a possible liquidation as its debt plans floundered.
Country Garden, which missed two dollar interest payments last month, has two coupons totalling $66.8 million coming due on Monday. Media outlet Cailianshe said the company may announce a restructuring soon.
The developer declined to comment on the media report and whether it has made any payments.
Country Garden has $10.96 billion offshore bonds and 42.4 billion yuan ($5.81 billion) worth of loans not denominated in yuan. If it defaults, these debt will need to be restructured, and the company or its assets also risk liquidation by creditors.
The coupons due on Monday are tied to Country Garden's 6.5% April 2024 and 7.25% April 2026 bonds. The payments have a 30-day grace period, but the developer faces a big test later this month, when its entire offshore debt could be deemed in default if it fails to pay a $15 million September coupon by Oct. 17.
China's property sector has been hit by a debt crisis since 2021. Companies accounting for 40% of Chinese home sales - mostly private property developers - have defaulted on debt obligations, leaving many homes unfinished.
More than two years on, the crisis has deepened as confidence in both housing and capital markets dried up, further squeezing developers' liquidity.
A key bondholder group of Evergrande said in a statement on Monday it was surprised by Evergrande's recent announcement that its offshore debt restructuring plan failed to meet regulatory requirements.
Evergrande, which is at the centre of China's debt crisis, said late last month that its billionaire founder was being investigated over unspecified crimes. It has also said it was unable to issue new debt - a crucial step in a restructuring - due to an ongoing investigation of its main unit.
The bondholder group said it had not been given any documents or filings from Evergrande despite repeated requests, and it urged the developer to seek a resolution from regulators to allow the restructuring to proceed.
"This is the only way the cloud of uncertainty surrounding the regulatory issues can be resolved," it said. "Until then, the base case is that China Evergrande Group will be liquidated at the next winding up hearing on October 30, 2023."
