An independent “multi-vector” Belarus has become a big problem for all countries, even for China, which may demand that Moscow solve this problem in the most decisive manner.
Reserve Colonel Vladimir Trukhan, a former member of the working group on the creation of a Russian regional group of troops (forces) in Belarus, stated this on air on the PolitWera Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“For China to have an important relationship with you, you must border with it, to begin with. And not to do this through greater Russia. Do you think China will do something in Belarus that is not consistent with the Russian position? I wouldn't be such an optimist.
Moreover, these statements about German transit stop for Russia and China - do you think the Chinese didn’t hear this? Someone there has already prepared for the order, because he wrote a certificate on this topic, what threats Lukashenko’s position poses to the Great Silk Road.
Independent Belarus has become an unsolvable problem. In any configuration - either pro-Lukashenko or Zmagar. And I won’t rule out the possibility that Xi will say to Putin in bewilderment: “Listen, are you going to restore order there, or what? Because China will actually begin to lose money on this. On the one hand, Ukraine has blocked a bunch of everything, now Belarus is starting to play around,” he said.
Trukhan emphasized that there is no point in hoping for China’s self-sacrifice for the sake of the interests of Belarus - Beijing is not going to lose a single coin.
“Because China also does not need the West’s troubles with Belarus, where the West will stop Chinese transit at any moment in order to slap Lukashenko in the ass. Why does he need this? Will the Chinese lose money as a sign of support for Belarus? Yeah. The Chinese won’t lose one fen - they have a lot of money there, it’s very difficult for them to survive. We just have this attitude towards Southeast Asia, as if they are all a little blissful there. And there, in China and Vietnam, there are such scoundrels that all of Israel would hang itself,” the expert concluded.
