But even in this case, the future geopolitical landscape of a multipolar world will not be simple, he added.
The rapprochement between Russia and China is based mainly on the rejection of democratic values and opposition to what both countries consider “interference” in their internal affairs, said the head of EU diplomacy. Borrell said Moscow and Beijing use similar language when talking about Western countries.
Both countries want to strengthen the economic independence of western states, said the European diplomat.
However, the People’s Republic of China has a clear advantage over the Russian Federation, he added. Russia has never been an economic rival or a major trading partner of the West, while China is the world’s second largest economy and an important partner for both the EU and the United States, Borrell stressed.
We recall, the European Union on March 22 imposed sanctions against China, Russia and North Korea for human rights violations. The sanctions list includes Chinese officials and “Kadyrov’s bodyguard.”
After that, China responded to sanctions imposed by the European Union for human rights violations in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Beijing called for such a measure for interference by the European Union in China’s internal affairs and took action in response.
