Russian Foreign Minister Sergie Lavrov visited China on Wednesday with his counterpart and warned that Beijing and Moscow are planning to create a “new world order.”
Lavrov gave a chilling warning that the world in now “living through a very serious stage in the history of international relations” and both countries will pave the way for “a multipolar, just, democratic world order.”
The Russian Foreign Minister told the Chinese government, by the end of this stage, “we, together with you, and with our sympathisers, will create such a new world order.”
China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Lavrov both slammed the West for their “illegal unilateral sanctions imposed on Russia.”
The Russian Foreign Ministry said, “The ministers had a thorough exchange of views on the situation around Ukraine.
“The head of the Russian foreign ministry informed his Chinese counterpart about the progress of the special military operation […] and the dynamics of the negotiation process with the Kyiv regime.”
They added, “The sides noted the counterproductive nature of the illegal unilateral sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and its satellites.”
Alexander Cooley, an expert on Central Asia from Columbia University, told the Associated Press, “China is quietly asserting itself as the leading external power in the region.
“In doing so, it will position itself as both critic of United States regional policy and as an alternative leader of a humanitarian coalition comprised of Afghanistan’s neighbours.”
