Kremlin slams Western media’s take on Russia-China gas deal

Dmitry Peskov calls Bloomberg’s claim that no agreement has been struck “low-skilled misinformation” © Sputnik / Pavel Byrkin Western media reports on the lack of a major natural gas deal between Russia and China are fake, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday, referring to stories citing information published by Bloomberg. Peskov noted that earlier this week, Russian energy giant Gazprom announced a daily record in gas supplies to China through the Power of Siberia pipeline. “It [the Bloomberg report] looks like low-skilled misinformation. The reality is quite different,” Peskov told Russian business daily RBK. “The issues of expanding of supplies were discussed. By the way, just yesterday, on the day of negotiations [between Moscow and ...

Putin lauds Chinese peace roadmap for Ukraine

It can be implemented only when West and Kiev are “ready” for it, Russian president said after talks with his Chinese counterpart © Sputnik / Pavel Byrkin Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised Beijing's 12-point peace roadmap for Ukraine, during a summit with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. The Chinese leader is making a three-day visit to Moscow, and today's official talks took place at the Kremlin. “We believe that many of the provisions of the peace plan put forward by China are consonant with the Russian stance and can be taken as a foundation for a peaceful settlement when they are ready for it in the West and in Kiev. However, so far we have not observed such readiness on their part,” Putin stated. The Chinese president said Beijing cont...

Ukraine afraid to criticize China

Kiev is anxious not to anger Russia’s ally in the hope of attracting future investment, the outlet has claimed Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Kiev, Ukraine © AFP / Genya SAVILOV/AFP Ukraine has refrained from criticizing China over its close ties with Russia in the hope of attracting future investment from Beijing, Politico has claimed. This stance comes in stark contrast to the angry tirades that Kiev has directed at the likes of Hungary and Germany for their perceived lack of anti-Russian zeal, according to the media outlet. In an article on Tuesday, Politico reported that besides the desire for Chinese investment, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is seeking to maintain lucrative trade relations with the Asian economic powerhouse, and is eyeing...

China dumping American debt – US Treasury data

Beijing’s holdings of securities have dropped to their lowest since May 2009 © Getty Images / PM Images China has continued to slash its holdings of US treasury securities amid the growing threat of economic sanctions from Washington, according to data released by the US Treasury on Wednesday. The figures show that Beijing's holdings slid to $859.4 billion in January from $867.1 billion in December. The decline in January was more than double the $3.1 billion cut the month before, though less than the $7.8 billion reduction in November. China is the second largest foreign holder of US government debt but has reduced its holdings for six consecutive months, with the figure dropping below the symbolic $1 trillion mark in April 2022.

China comments on ‘Ukrainian theory’ of Nord Stream sabotage

The foreign ministry in Beijing noted the unusual behavior of Western media File photo: Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin © VCG / VCG via Getty Images Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin found it unusual that major outlets in the West uncritically embraced the claim by unnamed US officials that a “pro-Ukrainian group” was responsible for the bombing of Nord Stream natural gas pipelines. At the press briefing on Wednesday, Wang described the pipelines as “vital cross-border infrastructure projects,” whose destruction had a “serious impact on the global energy market and ecological environment.” China wants “an objective, impartial and professional investigation” into the bombing and those responsib...

Murdoch propaganda pushes Australia: double military budget to fight China

The time to start resisting is now. Caitlin Johnstone Subscribe to our channel The Australian people are being groomed into participating in the USA’s war drive against China. The cost to themselves is likely to be catastrophic. The following article is reproduced from Caitlin Johnstone’s blog, with thanks. ***** In the latest escalation in Australia’s increasingly forceful campaign to manufacture consent for war with China, the Murdoch-owned Sky News Australia has aired a jaw-droppingly propagandistic hour-long special which advocates a dramatic increase in the nation’s military spending. Australians are uniquely vulnerable to propaganda because our nation has the most concentrated media ownership in the western world, th...

A Dangerous Fishing Expedition: The Select Committee on China

BY EVE OTTENBERG Photograph Source: Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy – Public Domain Riled up against China, GOP congressmembers have long felt that Washington’s new cold war needed a special venue. So as soon as the baton passed to Republicans in the House, they set up a select committee on China. This is majority leader Kevin “Trump’s the Man” McCarthy’s baby, and if it sounds to you like a forum for much grandstanding and frothing about the communist menace, the yellow peril and the need to beef up the FBI, CIA, DIA and NSA, so they can hunt down China’s spies from the halls of government to the groves of academe – “they’re everywhere” supposedly – you may be onto something. I’m not sure what that something is, but it’s a good bet it ends with U.S. navy aircraft carriers s...
