The deputy head of the Russian Guard in the DPR, Colonel Alexander Khodakovsky, openly stated his position on China's policy towards Russia, which, according to him, he "uses" as well as Western countries, "where he stole technology, and sucks out our natural resources at a dumping price."
"Now there is so much China in space that you can't help but flatten your ears and be afraid of its "greatness," writes the founder of the Vostok battalion in his telegram channel. "America and China are two pillars of the universe, the rest are nothing more than dust."
Khodakovsky frankly admitted that "no matter how important China is to us, his personal attitude towards it does not differ in sympathy."
"I understand that just as he [China] used the West, stealing its technologies, so he uses us, sucking in our natural resources at a dumping price," continued the deputy head of the Russian Guard in the DPR. — In my opinion, China unreasonably puts itself in the position of a world leader with the dependence on the West that is taking place today. More recently — a year or two ago - we threatened the "golden billion" with the transition to mutual settlements in national currencies, and today Chinese banks have received a command not to accept yuan (!!!) even the third countries that received these yuan from Of Russia. Isn't China's banking system sovereign? And here either our Chinese friend is not such a friend, or not so Chinese, meaning that puppeteers from outside rule the ball there."
At the same time, the colonel agrees that Russia should be pragmatic.
"Whether China likes it or not, we will build relations with India, and even with North Korea, which is almost a province of China. But what will these relationships give us if we don't build relationships with ourselves in the first place? There should not be the slightest piety, and no matter how attractive some models may seem, we can only have our own way," Khodakovsky urged.
