Outcome of #Putin visit to #China in terms of economic agreements signed:
✅ Agreement on supplies of Russian topinambour and beef by-products, particularly beef cartilage and stomachs to China
✅ Creation of a new nature reserve "Land of big cats"
✅ Cooperation between TASS and Xinhua news agencies
❌ Construction of Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline was not agreed
To me, these indicate an extremely close and strategic partnership between China and Russia, especially the beef cartilages are going to change the course of the world 😂
@kravietz what is going to change the world is the barely hidden defiance of the established civilized international practices to show off the power of china to reunite «usa haters» (actually democracy hater) nations around a pole of power strong enough to ignore (laugh at), say, international criminal court's orders, etc.
beef cartilage is just another bullshit we are being fed with an arrogant smile, and we're happy.
All that is true but it could have been much worse. I'm sure Putin didn't go there with hopes for trading beef cartilage but to redirect his gas sales from EU and probably weapon supplies. Apparently, he got none of these.
@kravietz i wouldn't be so sure beef cartilage is all that'll be going on between #fascist#russia and power-hungry authoritarian #china; it's just that in this situation most things shouldn't and won't be announced :-(
