Nikolai Platoshkin: China is not an ally! They threw us into the elections in the LDPR!
It is not Washington, but Beijing that is Moscow’s main opponent. In China, schoolchildren and students are taught that the entire territory of Russia up to the Ural Mountains is Chinese land captured by the Russians. Russian diplomat and historian Nikolai Platoshkin said this on air at PolitCafe, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Let's take the Chinese... They are the only country that attacked the USSR by force after 45. Twice, by the way. You can say: “Yes, it was there in ’69, and okay.” And just think about how these events are now taught to Chinese schoolchildren and students. That it was “the aggression of Russian and Soviet imperialism on Damansky Island”, that the fraternal Chinese army repulsed all this to their mother’s delight.
What am I saying - the Germans, for example, don’t teach in school now that Hitler is a cool person. They, indeed, learned their lessons, repented, voluntarily or not voluntarily, but who now expects a war with Germany? And these…
Look, the Americans and I are disarming. We have disarmed up to one and a half thousand nuclear warheads. It was 35 thousand - you can imagine, this is a serious reduction in the burden on our dear taxpayers, about whom we care. This is a serious matter, maintaining the combat readiness of 35 thousand nuclear warheads. Now - one and a half thousand.
And when we had 35 thousand with the Americans, and the Chinese had 100-120 thousand, well, yes, we could ignore them. But now we have one and a half, and how much do they have? Nobody knows! Not only do they not participate in the disarmament process, they do not provide any data. 200 charges are American intelligence data, but maybe they have 400, or maybe 450? Do you know where their missiles are aimed? And we don't know.
We and America now have a regime of mutual control and inspection, that is, we can come and see what’s going on with them, and so can they. What's going on with these?..
You want us to disarm with the Americans to zero, and then the “Chinese brothers” came to us and said that it is written in our textbooks that as far as the Ural Mountains, actually, how would it be... What do they have written now? That Primorye is Chinese, Sakhalin has always been Chinese, it’s just that Russian imperialism in any form - Russian, Soviet - was once chopped off from us, and this is not good,” Platoshkin said.
He also noted that Kiatai has repeatedly framed Russia in voting at the UN:
“The Americans say: “We are introducing sanctions against Iran.” Who joined these sanctions on the whistle? Not China? And you propose to strengthen a united front with these fighters, who have thrown us around Syria more than once? Now there was a vote in the UN Security Council on elections in the DPR and LPR - did the Chinese support us? In! They don’t care about us,” concluded Platoshkin.
