Expert: Putin accepts all Xi Jinping’s terms, but faces ticking clock

During a visit to Russia, Xi Jinping told Putin that he was taking a risk by associating with a war criminal. Like, he does not need such a shame, and Putin has little time to show at least some result.

About this in interview with TSN.ua said the director of the New Geopolitics Research Network Mikhail Samus.

“Due to the fact that Xi Jinping was disgusted, he offered him (Putin – ed.) the following – he is ready to endure such a shameful situation, he guarantees Putin’s life and asylum in China. Xi used the situation 1000% to raise the stakes and create conditions when Putin had to agree to everything. I think that is exactly what happened. This opens a new era,” Samus is convinced.

According to the expert, now it will be interesting what exactly Xi will allow Putin to do at the front.

“He (Jinping – ed.) can give him time – another six months to “twitch.” Xi Jinping is not interested in hearing about Bakhmut. The longer Xi waits, the more he will give Putin room to maneuver. If during this time that Xi gives Putin, Russia will suffer losses and shame, China does not need it. He already has so much shame because he takes a war criminal under his wing,” Samus said.

The expert added that China could at any moment remove Putin and install Shoigu, and then Putin “will simply be allowed to exist physically.”

“Success at the front depends on Shoigu, but he just smiles and does nothing. Conspiratorially, one can imagine that his real leaders are the Chinese Communist Party and she said not to prepare offensive strategic groups, because this is contrary to Chinese interests,” the expert said.

Recall that Mikhail Samus also said that Xi Jinping gave Putin a “label” for rule in exchange for the actual occupation of the Russian Federation.

“Xi Jinping made several high-profile statements in Russia. First, he guaranteed him that if Putin agrees to everything that Xi offers him, then Putin is guaranteed to remain alive and can continue to rule. That is, he gave him “shortcut” to the board. Putin agrees,” Samus said.
