1/ A fascinating presentation by General David Petraeus unfolded today at the Qatar Economic Forum's panel: "Return of the Multipolar World." His observations were both profound and timely, shedding light on the shifting global landscape. #QatarEconomicForum

2/ "Once upon a time, we bathed in the serene waters of benign globalization," the General remarked nostalgically. "Now, the seas have become tempestuous. We find ourselves navigating choppy waves of change." #Geopolitics
3/ Turning to the Eastern horizon, Petraeus noted the friction between China and the West as the most crucial issue of our era. But he dismissed the notion of 'decoupling' as impossible, reminding us of last year’s record-breaking US-China trade volumes. #ChinaWestRelations
Chinese leader #XiJinping & Russian President #VladimirPutin have made a sweeping affirmation of their alignment across a host of issues – and shared mistrust of the United States – in a lengthy statement following talks between the two leaders in Moscow this week.

Xi’s three-day visit to the Russian capital, which concluded Wednesday, was an opportunity for the two self-described “friends” to showcase their close personal rapport amid the pomp of a state visit – and lay out how they could advance a world order.
Key Takeways of the Meeting btw 2 leaders
1. No meaningful path forward on Ukraine: The meetings yielded no breakthrough on resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
2. New world order: In their joint statement, the two authoritarian leaders called for promoting a multipolar world.

About the term "大范围会谈" (wide-ranging talks) used for the recent meeting between #XiJinping and #Putin - A thread 🧵:
1/ The word "大范围会谈" seems to be a new term in Chinese diplomacy. Beijing often use phrases like "广泛磋商" (broad consultations), "高级别会谈" (high-level talks), and "全面磋商" (comprehensive consultations) to express similar meanings, rather than this term.
2/ For example, "广泛会谈" (wide-ranging talks) is usually used to describe meetings involving different countries, organizations, or stakeholders. The purpose of these talks is to discuss, negotiate, and build consensus on certain issues or topics to resolve disputes.
“大范围会谈”似乎是本次外交产生的新名词，做外交报道这些年来没有印象。中国政府和媒体在描述国际会议和谈判时，更常见的一些用词包括“广泛磋商”、“高级别会谈”、”全面磋商“等类似词汇来表达相似的意义，而不是专门使用“大范围会谈”这个词。1/
比如"广泛会谈"通常用于描述涉及不同国家、组织或利益相关方的会议，这些会谈的目的是就某个问题或议题进行讨论、协商和建立共识，以促进合作和解决争端。2/

Whether China-US relations can return to the track of healthy and stable development depends on whether the US side can honor its commitments.
China and the US have maintained close communication on the #UkraineCrisis, and we have common understanding on realizing #ceasefire & peace and providing #HumanitarianAid. But we have different views on how to promote #peacetalks and realize lasting security in Europe.
1. Most interesting presentation by a prominent Russian academic of the economic and geopolitical rationale behind a #ChinaRussia strategic alliance. This is a key piece of the puzzle of "how we got #Putin wrong when we thought he wouldn't invade."

2. All evidence coming from Russian independent journalists and American intelligence sources point to the same story: In Putin's mind #UkraineInvasion remained a possibility rather than a certainty until his summit with #XiJinping
Xi was key!

3. The meeting 4 February #Beijing summit was a turning point in Chinese-Russian relations and also a milestone in the development of post-Soviet Russian foreign policy.
