The factors drawing Putin and Xi together

A strong sense of empathy with Russia on the part of China is only natural as it too faces predicaments such as being forced to the back foot on the issue of human rights in Xinjiang or being branded as “assertive” when it began reviving in 2015 its historical claims in the South China Sea from where they were abandoned in 1935, in response to the activities of the other littoral states.

It is an open secret that Western intelligence had a big hand in stirring up the unrest in Hong Kong. In fact, the history of US interference in China’s internal affairs to destabilize the Communist government is not new. It goes back to the Central Intelligence Agency’s covert activities in Tibet in the 1950s and early 1960s (which were at least partly responsible for triggering the 1962 China-India conflict).

But others are listening to the rhetoric who might be fooled into believing that there is substance behind the bluster. Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Georgia – all of these lesser powers today play an oversized role in shaping the US-Russian dynamic, whether by anointing a “true president” in Belarus, dragging their feet on peace in the Donbas, or reigniting the dream of NATO membership by playing host to US forces in large scale military exercises designed to mimic a NATO-like reality.

Is the US Providing Aid to Terrorists in Crimea? Russian Government Seeks Answers

Last Monday, NBC News published a report suggesting that Russian government had put bounties on the life of American soldiers in Afghanistan for Taliban to reap. This created quite a stir in US and got a strong denial from Russian government. However, the article contained some other information that was overlooked by the media.

Deep into the article, an anonymous source in the defense establishment of the US says that the intelligence community of the country assumes that bounties had been offered for American soldiers’ life in response to American surreptitious intervention in Crimea.
