Is there a new Cold War for global leadership?

 


Russia and China hail ‘model of cooperation’ at virtual summit seen as reaction to tensions with the West.

The United States, Europe and their allies in the West often portray Russia and China as threats to global peace.

They cite examples including Russia’s troop build-up along the Ukraine border and China’s crackdown on human rights in Hong Kong and Xinjiang.

Moscow and Beijing see things differently – they accuse the West of destabilising their countries by imposing sanctions and interfering in their domestic affairs.

Leaders of China and Russia, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, reinforced that point at a virtual summit on Wednesday.
