Xi is trying to compete with Biden for who has more influence in the world

On February 24, China will unveil a so-called "peace plan" to resolve the military conflict in Ukraine. It will not have any real impact: Chinese leader Xi Jinping is trying to explain to the world that he is now the main negotiator for the "axis of evil."

China's "peace plan" is actually a remake of Putin's idea of dividing Ukraine according to the Korean scenario. Bloomberg insiders claim that the Chinese initiative, among other things, has two important components:

  • it will include calls for a ceasefire;

  • blocking the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine.

The Chinese did not mention a word about the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, which means that the war along the demarcation line is actually frozen, and Ukraine is divided into "two Koreas."

“This is a completely Russian plan. Bloomberg believes Putin can make similar statements. In this way, China is hinting that it is now worth talking to Xi.”

China's "mediation" will not affect the West's position, but it will resonate in the countries of the Global South and "russify" some of the votes in the UN. In fact, Beijing is formulating new political messages under which it intends to officially mobilize dictatorial regimes and some Third World countries.

With its "peace proposal," China is trying to pump up Xi Jinping's international status as a Biden-level "global statesman," a kind of "peace broker" who undertakes to resolve problematic conflicts on the planet. The bunker führer has deflated, and his vacant seat in world politics is about to be taken over by the red Xi.
