Are Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin Allies?

-- Wei Jingsheng

Due to the crisis in Ukraine, many experts worry about the situation across the Taiwan Strait. This has been extended to the danger that the Sino-Russian alliance poses to the security of the Asia-Pacific region, further concerns of the difficulties of global security strategy of the United States that cannot be dealt with, and such discussions that may not have to be worried about.

The core question is whether China and Russia can form an alliance, and what kind of alliance it would be. What is more important is whether their mutual promises will be fulfilled even if they do form an alliance. That's a credit issue. First of all, the credit of both countries is not good, especially that of Russia, which has a habit of not keeping its promises since the Soviet era. This has to do with the cult nature of the Communist Party, not a personal issue.

The common feature of all kinds of cults is that they do not recognize the common sense of mankind, which is “the principle of heaven” that the Chinese people love to talk about. These cults absolutely believe that only their own set is the truth, and that the human beings who do not accept their set are not human, but only quasi-human. Thus there is no psychological burden to exclude or deceive them. Once in power, it would be an autocratic or authoritarian government with the unity of state and religion. Therefore, a democratic government must be a government in which church and state are separated. Although ancient China was an undemocratic government where religion and state were separated, a government that unifies the state and religion would be for sure a non-democratic government.

What are the governments of China and Russia? One is an autocratic regime and the other is a quasi-autocratic authoritarian government. The characteristics of autocracy and authoritarianism are as the saying in Chinese terms: one mountain does not allow the existence of two tigers. They are even neighbors, so it would be good even when they are not fighting against each other -- only a fool would believe that they will be in an alliance. Seventy years ago, Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin formed an alliance. But soon after, China and the Soviet Union broke up and fought each other, which forced Mao to make a 180-degree turn around and reluctantly shake hands with the President of the United States in order to confront the Soviet Union.

At least Mao cheated to be rewarded, thus he was able to expand the communist camp by the USA selling out South Vietnam. However, the Communist Party of Vietnam is also an autocratic government, and it soon fought with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It used the weapons and food from the CCP to fight against the CCP, which is still a trauma in the CCP’s heart. Under such a mentality dominated by historical trauma, will the majority of the CCP make friendly alliances with Russia? Both China and Russia lack the foundation of public opinion and are only good to form a mutually deceitful alliance.

After World War II, Western powers returned all China’s territory that they invaded and occupied through unequal treaties. Only Russia did not return the territory it got, without even an apology. This is a fact known to all Chinese, and it is also the basic attitude of Russians’ mentality towards China. For decades, the majority of the CCP was also indignant. Is this a friend? Can such neighbors form an alliance? Only those who have brain damages will believe so.

Some people say that this is the way of international politics. There are no permanent enemies, but only permanent interests. This is in line with the cat theory of Deng Xiaoping. Then why would the CCP not continue to slander itself and restore the relationship with the United States, which is its best interest? The big capital of the United States are crying and shouting to ease relations. Why should the CCP help Russia to offend the United States and Europe? Also, why does it guarantee the blood transfusions to Russia, and pick out the roasted chestnuts from the campfire for its potential opponents? It's indeed kind of silly.

I thought about it for a long time and found a reason for the CCP Secretary-General Xi Jinping. It is Xi's group who grew up singing Russian songs such as "Katyusha" and "Hawthorn Tree" -- they were born close to the Soviet Union. They even kneel and lick with fear, by calling the heir of the Soviet Union, Russia, a fighting nation. They think that the United States and Europe are like themselves, needing to kneel and lick with fear. By hold its back against the back of this Soviet big brother, they could play the game together against the democratic camp.

They didn't notice that Vladimir Putin is a KGB officer from the era of unfriendly Sino-Soviet relationships, not a generation who sang about Sino-Soviet friendship. Putin does not have the habit of kneeling and licking the CCP, and even despises this gang of flattering thieves. In fact, he is also constantly using Secretary-General Xi, who is good for both providing money and being used as a shield. Putin likes this silly Xi who fell into the trap by himself yet Putin absolutely has no intention to help Xi to fight against the European and American camps.

On the contrary, the CCP Secretary-General Xi threw a lot of money to help Putin, in the way of a businessman who shouts loudly for his commence despite he loses money at the same time. Xi is still waiting to be sanctioned together with Russia. This dud is really not at an ordinary level. What is pitiful are really the hundreds of millions of poor people in China, including these women who were abducted and trafficked in Xuzhou, who are exploited for the big money Xi spreads.

习近平和普京是盟友吗？

-- 魏京生

由于乌克兰危机，很多专家担心对台海局势造成危机。这又引申为中俄联盟对亚太安全带来危险；进一步以为对美国的全球安全战略，带来无法应对的难题；等等杞人之忧的议论。

其中核心的问题就是中俄两国是否能够结盟，结成什么样的盟。更重要的是即使结了盟，他们的互相承诺是否会兑现。也就是信用问题。首先说明，这两个国家的信用都不好，尤其是俄罗斯，它的信用从苏联时代起，就有不遵守诺言的习惯。这和共产党的邪教本性有关，不是个人的问题。

各种邪教的共同特征，就是不承认人类共同的常识，也就是中国老百姓爱说的天理。他们绝对认为只有他们自己的一套是真理，并且认为不接受他们一套的人类不是人，只是准人类，排斥或者欺骗他们时没有任何心理负担。一旦掌权，就是政教合一的专制或者威权政府。所以民主政府必须是政教分离的政府。虽然中国古代是不民主的政教分离政府，但是政教合一的必然不是民主政府。

中俄两国是什么政府呢？一个是专制政权，一个是准专制的威权政府。专制和威权的特点就是俗话说的：一山不存二虎。它俩还是邻居，不打起来就不错了，结盟只有傻瓜才相信。七十年前，毛泽东和斯大林结过一次盟，不久后中苏就破裂而且打起来了。迫使毛泽东180度大转弯，不那么情愿地和美国总统握了手，以便对抗苏联。

至少毛泽东还骗取了回报，借美国出卖了南越而扩大了共产党阵营。可是越南共产党也是专制政府，很快就和中共打起来了，而且是用中共的武器粮草打中共，至今仍是中共心头的创伤。在这种历史创伤主导的心理下，中共的大多数人会和俄罗斯友好同盟吗？中俄两国都缺乏民意基础，是互相欺骗的结盟而已。

二战之后，西方列强通过不平等条约侵占中国的领土，都归还给中国了。只有俄罗斯不但没有归还领土，连道歉都没有。这是所有中国人都知道的事实，也是俄罗斯人心理上对中国的基本态度。几十年来就是中国共产党内的大多数人，也为此愤愤不平。这是朋友吗？这样的邻居能够结盟吗？脑子进水的才会相信。

有人说这是国际政治的需要，没有永远的敌人，只有永远的利益。这倒是符合邓猫论的唾面自干。那就继续唾面自干，恢复和最大利益美国的关系呀。美国的大资本哭着喊着要缓和关系呢，为什么要帮助俄罗斯去得罪美国和欧洲呢？还给俄罗斯输血加担保，为潜在的对手火中取栗？这确实有点儿傻吧。

我想了半天给小习书记想到了一个理由。就是习近平这一帮人是唱着《喀秋莎》和《山楂树》长大的，天生亲苏。甚至把苏联的继承人俄罗斯称为什么战斗民族，跪舔加惧怕。以为美国和欧洲也像他们自己一样，跪舔加惧怕。有这位苏联老大哥背靠背，就可以和民主阵营玩一把了。

他们没注意到，人家普京是中苏交恶时代的克格勃军官，不是高唱中苏友谊的一代。他没有跪舔中共的习惯，甚至鄙视这帮拍马屁的小鸡贼。实际上他也是不断利用小习书记，又来钱又当挡箭牌，特喜欢这个自动被拉下水的傻大大。绝对没有帮小习对抗欧美阵营的意思。

倒是小习书记大撒币帮了普京的忙，赔本赚吆喝，还等着和俄罗斯一起受制裁。这个冤大头当的，真不是一般的水平。可怜中国那几亿的贫困人口，包括徐州被拐卖的妇女们，都要为大撒币买单了。
