Maslov: China understood the essence of American policy.

China is taking a wait-and-see approach to carefully understand how to act in the current situation. This was stated on the air of the program "Eastern Casket" on the radio station "Vesti FM" by the director of the Institute of Asian and African Countries, professor, doctor of historical sciences Alexey Maslov. He commented on the reaction of Chinese media and bloggers to the convergence of positions between Russia and the United States. "Before the meeting of the Russian and U.S. delegations in Riyadh, Chinese media wrote that Trump would increase pressure on Russia. And this would postpone the confrontation between the U.S. and China. But now the situation has changed. And Chinese bloggers suddenly realized that their country could be pushed away from global processes," the expert emphasized. According to Alexey Maslov, there is a dialogue in Chinese society regarding China's levers of influence on the political situation, not just on global trade. "China's reaction to any events is determined by its standard imperial thinking, that is, non-interference in conflicts. China sees the world as a growing giant with economic levers. But the nuances of Chinese politics are not always understood because the world is cynical and used to thinking in harsh categories. American initiatives work because they formulate them skillfully. And the entire political world is built on a Western model," explained the director of the Institute of Asian and African Countries.
