the song of stalin and mao, they listen to you, russian chinese brothers forever, here i am... just sitting and thinking, and where to start, well, let's begin gradually, let's wrap up this whole story, first of all, the story about putin's visit, vita holud is smiling, it's nice, i like people who smile, in general , optimists live eight years longer than pessimists, and i wish this to everyone, good health i am mrs. vita, thank you for being with us, thank you for volunteering, we know that you were in china, and then the question arises: you understand, when stalin was mao, there were fruitful relations, the main word, the word connected with this fruitful, that is, until the transfer of at least elements of nuclear weapons to china people's republic, and now, in addition to canceling customs duties on tapinambur, i will read it to you now, i

was preparing, don't think that tapinambur is a word. pinamba is a brazilian tribe, whose representatives were transported to europe and together with them they transported the so-called earthen pear, which is tapinambur, and here tapinambur is from the word tapinamba a brazilian tribe, and in addition to this, the abolition of these customs or any prohibitions there materially, what is possible... as a result of this visit , there was nothing except very passionate hugs, tepinambur the earthling the pear was allowed, the chinese will now finally eat a lot of earthen pears, you can see it now on your screens, someone’s hand is doing it passionately, it’s not my hand, i want to tell you right away, it’s putin’s hand, probably, but somewhere and sijinpin's eyes, he

shows, do you want tapunambura, so i will do it for you now. you already have a tapinambur gift in your pocket. so, let's, in general, what are the results of this visit, where almost the entire government of the russian federation participated? a huge number of different governmental and non-governmental ones managers, well, there is the head of the national bank of the central bank of the russian federation, in short, a large number. and what do we have besides tapinambur? mykola, thank you for the invitation, it's always nice to see you. regarding your question: russian and chinese are brothers in age, they call themselves friends more than brothers, and this is a relationship of friendship, good neighborliness and partnership. what was signed? official taka official summary: the deepening of comprehensive cooperation and strategic partnership in the new era, what

does the new era mean? it's so diplomatic such a diplomatic... turn, and this in chinese diplomacy means that this partnership corresponds to the modern international context, that is, it coincides with the chinese vision, where the role of the undisputed leader is no longer fulfilled by the united states, and such a treaty was signed in the new era with only three countries , this is russia, this is serbia and hungary, that is, these three countries correspond to the chinese vision, that is, they agreed with this vision that the role of the undisputed leader no longer belongs to the united states. then you need to understand what really happened officially a lot of people were transported, the entire establishment is russian, but only one day was set aside for these meetings, and as i understand it, the restrictions were made by the chinese side, contracts and media were signed there with the russian railways, with military cooperation, this is

a very interesting focus for us precisely for this cooperation with... and as i understood, as i understand and as i can interpret it, that china needs this mutual mutual cooperation from several positions. the first is military exercises, he has the issue of taiwan, he has his ambitions in the indo-pacific region, this is also an issue terrorism and so on, i.e. to actively join the russian side with their weapons in russia. china is not going to the ukrainian war, and another issue is also in focus - that is what you said that there was a nebibulina, she came and also representatives of others. e financial institutions were in beijing, and this suggests that china and russia were talking about alternative

payment mechanisms for e-e goods coming from china or from russia, that is, they are building, perhaps discussing, an alternative financial system to the dollar. it is threatening to us, why? because china has be responsible to international sanctions, and we have repeatedly emphasized this: dual-purpose goods should not enter russia, because they fuel the russian military machine, that is, these are two focuses that we will focus on in the future, which we will follow. at the political level, we said that two such points were approved, regarding the strengthening of strategic cooperation and it is important to strengthen the role of the sco and brics in... this year, russia chairs the brics and it is important for china to develop these formats, because it also sees its role in strengthening in in these two formats.

what else was noticed: 75 years of diplomatic relations, it was really ear-splitting, because we know that in china russia is considered the rightful successor of the soviet union, whether we like it or not, but the soviets... the union did a lot of useful things for china, and china historically, in the historical context it remembers. at the academic level, i can say that a significant number of elites do not understand why china, which is heavily dependent or interdependent with europe and the usa, is so demonstratively strengthening its relations with russia, and they are already making noise. voices that it is not about chinese interest, that it is necessary to pursue a balanced policy, that russia is toxic, that it is tarnishing

the image of china in the international arena, and that it is necessary to act a little differently, and voices are already being heard that ukraine must really win, and it will certain profit for china. on an equal footing with people, society, it is necessary to understand that there is a separation of this. of chinese society depending on geography, on education, on age, on the field of employment, but roughly speaking, chinese society is divided into pro-russian and pro-ukrainian, and you can work with this and it is necessary to work, but this is, let's say, a short summary. look, i would like to ask you about this next peace plan of china, it has been criticized. when it was 12 steps to peace, it was called that in the people's republic of china, now there are three steps, and three steps

means stopping hostilities on the territory of ukraine, as i understand it, not aggravating the conflict and not spreading it to new territories, this i would translate it as a freezing of the conflict, and there is not what was in the 12th years, namely... compliance with the un charter, territorial integrity of the states, this is in general a contradiction of the policy of two chinas, more precisely, one china and two, if the styles of both leadership and respect for sovereignty, then there is no respect for sovereignty, because the sovereignty of ukraine extends between, according to international law, and extends to crimea and donbas. territorial integrity is like that. the integrity of ukraine in 1991 is in the borders, and the un charter also says that there must be integrity, and aggressive wars, wars are unacceptable, and then

the question arises, there were 12 steps, we criticized the 12 steps, but they were much better than the three steps, what do you say, uh, nothing has changed, this and that 12-point position paper, it's there and no one has canceled it, most likely... you you mean the document that was published on the website of the ministry of foreign affairs of the people's republic of china as a result of lihui's visit to the countries of the southern global south, and there are six steps in the conclusion, but these are practical steps that already concern, let's say, those points where china is ready to intervene somewhere , this is the stabilization of supply chains in europe, that is, he... in ukraine affects china's economy and he wants to end this conflict as soon as possible, i don't know how yet, but he is talking about it very actively,

this is also for... ensuring the safety of the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and making the threat, the nuclear threat in ukraine impossible, that is, these steps are on the horizon . the fact that china has constantly on all platforms confirmed respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine, this is unchangeable, it is not even discussed, but at the moment china's so-called peace-making approach is reduced to... let's say, such a discussion, and i these issues as well discussed with analysts in beijing, china has a classic, standard, traditional approach to conflict resolution, through negotiations, period, and they, regardless of whether it is ukraine or the middle east, they call for negotiations, they have the same mechanisms, in they have the same tactics, only different personnel, negotiators, people, and if in the middle

east china has... understanding, a political solution to the conflict, it promotes the creation, yes, of a single state of palestine, and even in china , negotiations between the two political forces have already been held, hamas and fatah, that is, they met and they are preparing this political solution, in ukraine, unfortunately, two, two trips, two tours of lihui did not give results, that is, in pakistan they understand that the parties are not ready to sit down at the negotiating table, they are not ready ... to talk, as they say, as long as they, the parties are able to conduct hostilities, that is , until that moment the parties will not talk, and beijing understands this very well, it upsets them a little, because there is no diplomatic victory for beijing here, and in general they will be in the future promote some of their diplomatic, classical narratives until they see where exactly they can play

a constructive role. madam vita, excuse me for a second, it is very important, well, yes, i am also the kind of person who hesitates, i see both pluses in the politics of the chinese people, and minuses regarding ukraine in the first place, but now it became known literally during this visit that both south africa and brazil will not come to switzerland for these big negotiations that they want. che to offer and was offered by ukraine regarding peace between ukraine and russia, and there will be a peaceful, peaceful summit, or not a summit, or rather a peaceful conference, obviously, we already knew that china is unlikely to go there, it is not known whether india will go there, and now it is known for sure that china will not go, brazil will not go , and south africa will not go either, that is , it is already some side of the conflict. or not, about

china, if i say so, china, china has not yet, decided as far as i know, china has not given a positive or negative answer, so there is still time, but what we know very well and we see that russia is putting a lot of pressure on china, is making titanic efforts to prevent china from going there, and at the moment it must be understood that if china is going to participate in the peace summit in switzerland, then for china it must be seen. as his diplomatic victory, and currently consultations are held exactly in what capacity, if china will participate, what personality, if it will participate, that is, china is hesitating, and he said that this format should be acceptable to both sides of the conflict, yes, he wants , so that russia sits at the negotiating table, and indeed in china they do not understand how to conduct at all peace talks where there are no both sides of this

conflict, yes? they see that this conflict, even now, if we are in a heated phase, it will not be resolved even after the ceasefire, that is why they call it a crisis, that is why they call it a conflict, because it has dragged on and dragged on and will drag on for years, and where is our strong position, we must understand that china should be the guarantor of ukraine's nuclear security, because china is a nuclear country, we have a contractual basis, and china opposes it on all platforms. says that it is necessary to prevent the development of a nuclear war, that is, it is interests of china, and here our position is strong, at least from this point of view, china should play its constructive role. another question, which probably does not concern ukraine, or so very indirectly, is taiwan, the inauguration will be held there, the president, william lai, is taking the third term in a row there

, to what extent... i understand uh and.
