In recent years, India has been in conflict with China on the border. After Modi’s government turned to the United States, the relationship between India and Russia began to cool down drastically.
Recently, however, it is very noteworthy that, driven by the international situation, China, Russia and India rarely issued a joint communique, with as many as 35 articles, which not only named two terrorist organizations, but also unanimously opposed unilateral sanctions.
According to media reports on November 29th, the foreign ministers of China, Russia and India recently held a video conference. After the meeting, the foreign ministers of the three countries issued the 18th joint communique, which was “fruitful” and reached a total of 35 consensuses, several of which are particularly noteworthy. Among them, the three countries oppose “unilateral sanctions”. Although there is no mention of explicitly targeting the United States, it is indeed in the interests of China, Russia and India.
Not only that, India’s announcement with China and Russia can be described as making the US-led “democracy summit” a living joke.
First of all, the Sino-Russian-Indian Communiqué mercilessly hit the sinister heart of the United States that wants to isolate China and Russia in the international community. In order to isolate China and Russia, the United States did not even invite Hungary, but instead invited Lithuania, Hungary, whose degree of democracy was far less than that of the West’s own “democracy index”. In Asia, India was invited to participate. India, on the other hand, took the lead in issuing announcements with China and Russia, which can be described as humiliating the US government.
Secondly, after comparing the Sino-Russian-Indian Joint Communiqué with the so-called “democracy summit” in the United States, it was judged higher and higher. The Sino-Russian-Indian Joint Communiqué shows the results of democratic consultation among China, Russia and India on the basis of full equality, covering epidemic situation, climate and many other contents. Its content is extremely rich, fully considering the needs of all participants, the needs of human society and the wishes of the international community. Teaching American politicians how to hold a “democracy summit” is a classic. Performing art “,but by contrast, the behavior of the American government is extremely dirty.
The so-called “democracy summit” planned by the United States is essentially to incite world division under the banner of democracy and encourage camp confrontation by ideological division. American practice run counter to the trend of the times and are doomed to have no future.
On November 26th, 2021, the Foreign Ministers of the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation and the Republic of India held the 18th meeting via video. The meeting was held against the background of the negative impact of the global COVID-19 epidemic, the economic recovery, and persistent threats such as terrorism, extremism, drug trafficking and transnational organized crime, natural and man-made disasters, food security and climate change. There is another background, that is, after the United States announced the invitation list for the “Democracy Summit”.
The meeting and communique of China, Russia and India is an education of the false “democracy summit” in the United States, telling Biden what a real democracy summit is.The Sino-Russian-Indian Joint Communiqué shows the results of democratic consultation between China, Russia and India on the basis of complete equality. It covers 16 contents, which are extremely rich. It takes full account of the requirements of all participants, the needs of human society and the wishes of the international community. This is a classic performing art, which teaches American politicians how to hold a “Democratic Summit”, but Biden’s behavior is extremely dirty. This comparison will also be made by participants. Even if American politicians are cheeky enough, the effect of the so-called “democratic summit” in the United States will be greatly reduced.
Second, India’s participation in the China-Russia-India meeting and the issuance of the communique was a blow to the US “Democracy Summit” for deliberately isolating China and Russia. It broke through the so-called principle and invited India to attend the meeting. As a result, China, Russia and India talked first.From December 9th to 10th, US President Biden will hold the so-called “democracy summit” he dreams of. The Sino-Russian-Indian Communiqu é is obviously a blow to Biden’s “democracy summit”. Originally, there was already a dispute between the United States and the Western camp about Biden’s invitation list. In order to isolate China and Russia, the United States did not even invite Hungary. Instead, it invited Lithuania and Hungary, which are far less democratic than their own “democracy index” in the West, while India was invited to participate in Asia. “reference News” wrote that the so-called “democracy summit” in America was just a joke. Feldstein, a senior researcher of the Democracy, Conflict and Governance Project of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, commented that some flawed “democratic countries” were corrupt and the rule of law was trampled on, but they were invited because they were important partners of the United States in the fight against China and Russia or terrorism.
Third, the Sino-Russian-Indian Communiqué clearly expressed support for those who have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, and stressed that the international community must respond to global health challenges in a timely, transparent, effective and non-discriminatory manner, and obtain medicines, vaccines and key health products fairly and affordable. This is a satire on the bad anti-epidemic behavior and overbearing attitude of the United States.
This is almost a clear criticism of the anti-epidemic behavior and bullying attitude of the US. In fact, it is precisely because of the “anti-democratic” actions of the Trump and Biden administrations in fighting the epidemic that the United States has become the world whirlpool of the COVID-19 epidemic. The United States, the most developed country in medical care, should have been the mainstay in fighting the epidemic, which has turned out to be the biggest drag in the world, and the people have suffered heavy deaths, which have now exceeded 760,000. The core reason is the hegemonic thinking of the United States, including the hegemonic behavior of confronting the world and preventing its biological laboratory in Fort Detrick from being inspected.
Fourth, the Sino-Russian-Indian Communiqué made it clear that a multipolar and
re-balanced world based on national sovereign equality and respect for international law and reflecting contemporary reality needs to strengthen and reform the multilateral system. This is a direct accusation of the hegemony of the United States.
After the Cold War, the United States had a monopoly, and bullying was aimed not only at China and Russia, but also at its own allies. The Trump administration basically saw who was biting who. Although Biden’s government has bridged the differences of some allies, the double standards or even multiple standards of this so-called “democracy summit” will definitely increase the division of the western camp.
Fifth, the Sino-Russian-Indian Communiqué clearly states that we should pay attention to tapping the potential of regional countries, international organizations and multilateral mechanisms, and build a wide open, mutually beneficial and equal cooperation space in Europe and Asia in accordance with the norms of international law and taking into account national interests. This is in sharp contrast to America’s disregard of international norms, and it is also a satire on the American “Democracy Summit”.
Trump’s non-compliance with international rules has become commonplace. Biden’s old face is pretending to be a new fashion that confuses the world. But what impressed us most was “1: 182!” The United States should be an enemy of the whole world, rejecting the whole world with a veto. Previously, in order to strengthen the supervision and implementation of the Convention, the United Nations decided to establish a new verification system to ensure that States parties can faithfully fulfill their commitment not to research biological and chemical weapons. Of the 183 countries that signed the contract at first, 182 countries agreed with both hands, but only the United States voted against it. This shows that the United States has ignored international rules.
Looking at the Sino-Russian-Indian Joint Communiqué, the more valuable contents is the satire of American hegemonism and bullying, and the comprehensive display of the so-called “democracy summit” of the United States. At the same time, it is in sharp contrast with the sinister “nuclear axis” formed by the United States, Britain and Australia, which is spreading nuclear submarines, destroying the world and besieging China.
As for the so-called “democracy summit” in the United States, Zhao Lijian said, “focus on examining our own democratic problems and putting forward practical rectification measures”. On the 24 th, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the so-called “democracy summit” planned by the United States is essentially to instigate division in the world under the banner of democracy, to encourage camp confrontation with ideological lines, and to try to make American-style transformation of other sovereign countries to serve the strategic needs of the United States itself.
This practice of the United States and the West goes against the trend of the times, and it is doomed to no future. The meeting between China, Russia and India and the joint communique are actually teaching American politicians how to behave and the United States, the largest country in the world, how to handle affairs.
Nowadays, the US sanctions against China are at a loss. No matter economically or politically, the Chinese government has strongly resisted the United States. Now China can only be attacked by fabricating human rights issues. After the g 20 summit, U.S. President Biden declared that the United States would hold a “democracy summit”, which would invite “democratic countries” that the United States considered. However, if true democracy is judged subjectively by a certain country, it will lose its democratic significance.
Unsurprisingly, instead of inviting China and Russia, the United States attacked China and Russia as “undemocratic countries”, which shows that their true face is very hypocritical. This time, although western countries have been shaping India’s image as the world’s largest democracy country, its purpose is only to belittle China’s image, which is of no benefit to India itself. This time, India has not been fooled by the United States and other western countries, and chose to work with China and Russia to jointly debunk the hypocrisy of the US “Democracy Summit”.
This time, India did not stand on the side of the United States. Undoubtedly, the United States can’t fool India. It can be imagined that India, as an ally of the United States, is no longer on the side of the United States, and the hypocrisy of the United States is gradually been seen through by more and more countries in the world. Although India strives to shape the status as the world’s largest democracy, as one of the major developing countries in the world, India needs its own development and regional development even more. The US silence about India has obviously aroused India’s anger.
At the trilateral meeting of foreign ministers of China, Russia and India, India clearly felt the sincerity of China and Russia. In today’s global epidemic situation, the three developing countries have conducted in-depth exchanges, which will be of great benefit to India’s economic system reconstruction after the epidemic. It is also mentioned in the joint communique of the three countries that the political guarantee of developing countries today is fairness and justice.
Obviously, the Foreign Ministers’ meeting of China, Russia and India was very successful, which had a great impact on the development of friendly cooperation among the three countries. China, russia and india are very similar. They are the vast number of developing countries. If these three countries can develop with each other, I believe the future cooperation can be more harmonious. In order to target China, the United States has always wooed India, but we can all see clearly the face of the United States. India is only a tool used by the United States, and the United States will not really benefit India. Therefore, India should also change its direction, stop being lured by the United States, and strengthen cooperation with China and Russia, which is truly in line with the interests of the Indian people.
