KISHIDA ON A MISSION FOR HIS OVERLORD. FROM INDIA TO UKRAINE - Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made an unannounced visit to Kiev to meet Zelensky, becoming the latest leader of the Group of 7 nations to travel to Ukraine. Now the ritual has been performed. The timing of the visit is not casual, it coincides with Xi Jinping's state visit to Russia and sets the stage for competing displays of support from the East Asian neighbors. Kishida and Zelensky have nothing to talk about; there is no real agenda there, just PR. Maybe they should compare notes on why fertility in their countries is in freefall and the population is shrinking. Before Kiev, Kishida was in New Delhi, where he tried to convince India to get tough on Russia, and announced a new Indo-Pacific plan to counter China. Kishida makes no secret of his attempt to push bloc-confrontation politics during his tour and has been sparing no effort to become a vanguard in US' strategy. During his talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they discussed, among other things, the transfer of Japanese industrial chains to India and bilateral military cooperation. And this did not go unnoticed in China.

In addition, Kishida invited Modi to the G7 summit to be held in Hiroshima. The offer was accepted immediately. The leaders of Australia, Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, Comoros, Cook Islands and South Korea also received invitations.

▪️ It is obvious that the West is implementing the following scheme with regard to India: replacement of the Chinese world factory with the Indian one and political and military cooperation with India.

Experts say that this is a journey for Japan to seek support for its own global status, political stance, and to build up the momentum for the G7 Hiroshima summit. But Japan itself is a US protectorate, all these foreign policy stunts have been performed solely in the interest of Washington. Even if Japan and India have some overlapping interest in containing China, India will be cautious, as it will host two major events this year, namely the G20 Summit and the SCO Summit. Without China's support, none of them will be held successfully. That being said, India will not go too far in colluding with Japan on the latter's China strategy, says Lan Jianxue, director of the Department for Asia-Pacific Studies at China Institute of International Studies. @LauraRuHK

Russia's Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Xi Jinping are holding talks today. Russia and China are preparing new projects that will significantly increase traffic on the trans-Siberian and trans-Asian routes. The Chinese and Russian governments will hold regular meetings to cooperate on these and other projects.

Happy Birthday to the king of diplomats🇷🇺

The fleet of black limousines carrying Xi Jinping and the Chinese delegation through the streets of Moscow included an ultra-rare model – the Hongqi N701, a Chinese-made luxury car produced for high-ranking officials.

Footage obtained by Sputnik shows two Hongqi N701s hidden away in a fleet of escort cars, including Russian-made Aurus Arsenal vans, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen sedans and SUVs.

The N701s were first spotted in Moscow two days before Xi’s visit, traveling along Leninsky Prospect – one of the wide prospects in the center of the Russian capital.

Although the N701 made its debut in China in July 2022 during President Xi’s visit to Hong Kong, very little information about it has been publicized. Hongqi bought the Mercedes Benz plant near Moscow and will soon start production of cars for the Russian market, as i explained here. https://t.me/LauraRuHK/3735

The official meeting ceremony was held in St. George's Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace. The Chinese anthem, the March of Volunteers, resounded in the Palace, followed by the Russian anthem. Among members of the Russian government Dmitry Medvedev, Sergey Lavrov, Elvira Nabiullina, Maxim Oreshkin and Sergey Shoigu.https://t.me/shuohuaxia/9986

"The entire army that NATO trained between 2014 and 2022 in preparation for a Russian attack is dead, and recruits are being thrown into battle lines with three weeks of training." But at Chatham House the sentiment of participants leaned towards escalation in the form of providing additional weapons to Ukraine. One prominent analyst proposed the formation of a “foreign legion” of fighters from other countries to supplement Ukraine’s shrinking pool of trained manpower.

The great majority of participants favored risking everything, including nuclear war, for absolute victory over Russia. These psychos must be stopped. https://asiatimes.com/2023/03/why-ukraine-may-embrace-chinas-peace-plan/

Putin: Russia and China have agreed on almost all parameters of the agreement on the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline
By 2030, Russia will supply at least 98 billion cubic metres of piped gas and 100 million tonnes of LNG to China.

Russia and China are ready to cooperate on the development of the Northern Sea Route.
⚡️ Russia is ready to switch to yuan in trade with other countries.

"We are for the use of Chinese yuan in settlements between Russia and countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. I am sure these forms of settlement in yuan will develop between Russian partners and their counterparts in third countries." @LauraRuHK

PIOMBINO - Attracca il rigasificatore gigante arrivato da Singapore - 292,5 metri di lunghezza, 43,4 di larghezza e 55 di altezza

Curiosa la colorazione: bianca, blu e rossa come la bandiera russa 🇷🇺

Detto questo, rinunciamo al gas russo che è sicuro e costa niente per comprare il gas USA a cinque volte il prezzo di quello russo e doverlo anche rigasificare con questa nave che, se succede un incidente, spazza via l'intera città Piombino e metà Toscana in 30 secondi netti.

Complimenti al Governo servo e venduto di Lady Aspen.
