Pravda: Putin Wants Russia and China to Fight the "West"!

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in China on Tuesday, for a two-day official visit. Putin plans to sign more than a dozen bilateral documents during his meetings with Chinese officials. On June 6-7, he will take part in the Beijing summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, RIA Novosti reports. During his visit to China, Putin will coordinate positions of the two countries on Syria and Iran. As for the SCO, the sides will discuss the questions related to the penetration of extremists to Central Asia. Putin is making the trip to China against the background of the surging crisis on the financial market, and the increasing pressure that the West has been putting on Russia and China in terms of the Syrian and Iranian problem. To crown it all, the withdrawal of NATO's troops from Afghanistan may put the national security of the two countries at risk. The discussion of the most serious problems of international politics will show to which extent Russia and China are close to each other. The two powers do not accept the policies of the West! The main goal is to change "non-democratic" regimes. China and Russia share similar views on Syria and Iran. The same can be said about the role of the United Nations in international affairs. Moscow and Beijing stand against the interventions in Arab countries bypassing the UN. However, Russia promotes integration via the Eurasian alliance, the Collective Security Treaty Organization. China is less interested in these organizations According to Chinese experts, Putin wants to get Russia involved in integration processes in Europe in the first place. Asia comes second for the Russian administration, they say!
