Chinese propaganda in Russia is activated right before today's trilateral 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇳 foreign ministers' videoconference, as Beijing quite awkwardly tries to influence the Russian expert community and convince Moscow that sale of new fighter jets to India is a bad idea. 🤦‍♂️
2/ Spotted by @Igor_Denisov. Official @PDChina's account has posted this message in a Facebook group of 2,000+ 🇷🇺 Asia-watchers. "If Russia wants to soften the hearts of Indians & Chinese, it's better not to sell weapons to 🇮🇳 at this delicate moment" #subtle
3/ Here is the @ANI report that @PDChina is referring to. "Amid row with China, IAF pushes proposal for acquiring 33 new Russian fighter aircraft." cc @Iyervval, @samirsaran, @theidlethinker, @Rudra_81, @jonandan aninews.in/news/national/…

THREAD Failure to address Moscow's growing dependency on @Huawei will help Beijing embed Russia in a China-centred technological order, a digital #PaxSinica with worrying, global ramifications, I argue in my new piece for @FT. Here is why 👇 1/ ft.com/content/f36a55…
2/ As US-led pressure campaign against @Huawei starts to bear fruit, and now @10DowningStreet even contemplates an alliance of democracies to provide developing countries with alternatives to Huawei in 5G, this effort overlooks one key battleground: Russia thetimes.co.uk/article/downin…
3/ If @Huawei succeeds in establishing control over 🇷🇺 5G buildout, that will strengthen 🇨🇳 position in the battle for other EMs. Influence of example is key. If proud and technologically sophisticated Russia believes that Huawei is safe, why should Brazil or South Africa resist?

Great @WSJ deep dive story on 🇨🇳🇷🇺 by @yarotrof & @tggrove. @DmitriTrenin nails it: “There is an increasing realization in Russia that getting too close to the Chinese giant can lead to undesirable dependence on Beijing.” Couple of additional thoughts 👇 wsj.com/articles/weary…
2/ Moscow indeed becomes increasingly alerted to and concerned about its growing dependency on China, as is evident in recent conversations with 🇷🇺 senior government officials and business executives from both private sector & SOEs.
3/ It's not really about the mutual distrust exposed by early stages of COVID management, and not about spying including the most recent case since great powers spy on each other, even closest allies (Angela Merkel can tell you all about it)...

A notable phone conversation between Xi and Tajikistan's President Rahmon. Dependency of Dushanbe on its giant neighbor is accelerated by COVID, as Tajikistan is becoming Cambodia of Central Asia in terms of 🇨🇳 influence. Some details that caught my eye👇 xinhuanet.com/english/2020-0…
2/ According to @XHNews, Rahmon told Xi that Dushanbe wants to "further align Tajikistan's national development strategy for the period up to 2030 with the joint construction of the Belt and Road."
3/ Rahmon: "Tajikistan is willing to expand cooperation with China in such areas as economy and trade, health, science and technology"
