Prime Minister Vladimir Putin talked to the Chinese media about a number of issues ranging from international politics to bilateral trade, to his personal feelings about chairing Russia’s government.
I am really glad to see that economic cooperation Russia-China improves year after year. As Mr. Putin told, both economies are complementary. Also no other place in the world offers larger room for development than communication and infraestructures across Russia-China borders, in Central Asia and Eastern Siberia-Northern China. Potential development in very highspeed railways, roads, airports, etc. will help both Russia and China. On the politic side, I really apreciate that common sense and peacefull mind along years both in Russia and in China, has avoided tension, wars and conflicts in many places. It is nice to see that so different Peoples, such as Russia and China, can share so much.
I love China, I am glad they are finally cooperating more in every sphere. I don't like how some spread fear about China. Through cooperation and friendship leads to greater benefits than war and greed. Increasing ties with China will bring more security for both.
It is rare to see a world leader such as Mr. Putin give a news conference for so long and answer questions directly. It seems in the Country, I am from and care for greatly, some of our leaders first need to have their beauticians (make up people) prepare them. Then when asked a question, they seem never to answer the question directly but give a self serving answer. After a short time they have to rush off for their importance, is needed in another more important place! We see through history, change takes time. Russia through Mr. Putin and Mr. Medvedev are building a strong foundation of freedom; growth for the Russian people. I think back to reading Michael Stroggof and the Russian Culture of those times. China in its own way is bringing positive change to its large population base. Both Countries have many hundreds of years of gained culture to reflect back upon in going forward. Whatever manner we find peace to gain sleep each night, trusting in your Creator in whatever manner, I hope we are all able to gain this in our own way. May all of our Leaders be Blessed!
My only issue is that I perceive China to not respect human rights as much as a "western country" would. I'm not talking about the U.S, but more like Brazil. I want the Chinese government to respect private property, and human dignity and privacy that is so prevalent in the West, BRIC, or even like Cuba. The most important thing though is for China, Russia, and other allies to be a counter-weight to NATO.










A truly great thing for the whole world, Russia and China working together - it really is the only way to control the hot heads! and get principles and law back into the world. Let's keep going step by step, the momentum is with us, we just need keep walking, others are free to join us on our quest for a fair peaceful world, free of western dictatorship.Where countries can be countries again.
