Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfur's visit to Russia and Belarus shows that Beijing, along with diplomacy to help solve the Ukraine crisis, is also seriously pursuing the policy of strengthening the power of the East against the West.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The fact is that China and Russia have significantly developed their relations in various sectors in recent years within the framework of the alliance strategy against the West.
 
The cooperation between the two countries is not only in the field of military and security, but also in areas such as economy, politics, diplomacy, culture, science and technology, and public health is very flexible, comprehensive and in some cases very focused.
 
Meanwhile, the West thought that the relations between the two sides would remain fragile due to some strategic differences between Beijing and Moscow. However, the Western sanctions against Russia and China and the intensification of the pressures of the United States and European countries on Moscow and Beijing, and finally the Ukraine crisis from the West, made China and Russia move towards strengthening strategic relations.
 
International affairs expert Lee Kunti says: "America and the West did not imagine that China and Russia would ignore some of their differences and take the direction of developing and deepening comprehensive cooperation. For this reason, the United States and European countries, especially after the Ukraine crisis, pursued extensive efforts to separate China from Russia, which did not yield results.
 
In the meantime, what seems to have caused the West's displeasure with China is Beijing's side with Russia in the Ukraine crisis, which has confused America and European countries in this regard, and their accusations against China of helping Russia in the Ukraine war so far. It has not been fruitful.
 
According to Li Zhanshu, the former chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China, in a meeting last year with the heads of factions of the Russian State Duma, China fully understands and supports all of Moscow's actions in Ukraine to protect its interests. Meanwhile, the West, especially the United States, considers China's comprehensive support for Russia as one of the reasons for the failure of their sanctions against Russia.
 
He Sing Tso, an expert on international affairs, says about this: "The West hoped that its sanctions against Russia would bring this country to its knees in the Ukraine crisis, not only this did not happen, but the Eastern Front by strengthening its relations and military position in He practically showed against the West that he can stand against any kind of aggression and aggressive actions of the West, which has provoked the protest of the public opinion of European countries against their governments due to the heavy costs of the war in Ukraine.
 
In any case, the visit of the Chinese Defense Minister to Russia shows that the efforts of the West, especially the United States, to create differences between Moscow and Beijing and distance China from Russia have not only not worked, but have strengthened the relations of the Eastern Front. It seems that with the realization of power rotation from the West to the East, America is more and more worried about the loss of its global hegemon's power, which process has actually started.
 
From America's point of view, China can put the West in strategic bottlenecks by strengthening its relations with Russia. The increasing weakening of the position of the dollar in regional and global exchanges, along with the strengthening of the position of the East in international developments and relations, further weakens the global position of America. Therefore, the visit of the Minister of Defense of China to Russia becomes even more important.
