Fake News Alert: Xi Didn’t Send A “Warning” To Putin Through His Statement In Kazakhstan

Casual news consumers might just chalk this up as a personal opinion that was shared without any ulterior motives, but those who closely follow Western disinformation operations would immediately have picked up on that person's deliberate omission of two crucial facts that discredit their claim.

The US-led West’s Golden Billion is obsessed with dividing and ruling the BRICS-led Global South, to which end it’s absolutely integral for them to drive a wedge between the Russian-Chinese Strategic Partnership. In pursuit of that, a disinformation narrative has just been introduced alleging that Chinese President Xi supposedly intended to send a “warning” to his counterpart President Putin through the former’s latest statement in Kazakhstan.

Eurasianet – which claims to be an “independent news organization” but openly admits to receiving funding from Soros’ Open Society Foundation, the British government, and the US-government-backed National Endowment of Democracy – just published a piece by Editor-at-Large Joanna Lillis misleadingly claiming in its subheading that “It sounded like Xi Jinping was warning Putin against any adventures in Central Asia.” According to Lillis, this was supposedly conveyed through the following statement.

President Xi told his Kazakh counterpart that “However the international situation changes, going forward we will also resolutely support Kazakhstan in the defense of its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity; firmly support the reforms conducted by you to assure stability and development; [and] categorically come out against interference by any forces in the internal affairs of your country.” Lillis then added that this could only have referred to Russian threats to Kazakhstan.

Casual news consumers might just chalk this up as her personal opinion that was shared without any ulterior motives, but those who closely follow Western disinformation operations would immediately have picked up on her deliberate omission of two crucial facts that discredit her claim. The SCO Summit in neighboring Uzbekistan’s Samarkand that both leaders participated in shortly after their meeting brings together a collection of countries that are united by their opposition to three security threats.

These are terrorism, separatism, and extremism, all of which just coalesced into the brief Hybrid War of Terror on Kazakhstan in early January of this year. It was these threats and that recent context that President Xi was referring to, not speculative threats from Russia like Lillis misleadingly sought to convince her audience of by omitting these two facts. Their inclusion, after all, would have discredited her artificially manufactured information warfare narrative aimed at dividing Russia and China.

About that, the false perception of mutual suspicion, rivalry, and speculatively latent tensions between those two that she wants her readers to believe will have absolutely zero influence in shaping the course of the Russian-Chinese Strategic Partnership. It’s purely for so-called “prestige” purposes related to making her target audience wrongly believe that the emerging Multipolar World Order is an impossibility if they’re being tricked into thinking that President Xi just sent a warning to President Putin.

From that twisted interpretation of events, they might become more inclined towards supporting the Golden Billion in whole or in part after falsely concluding that the Global South will never form a viable alternative if its Russian and Chinese cores are supposedly already feuding over Kazakhstan, with all that entails for speculatively replicating the Old Cold War-era’s split between those two in the coming future. Even that outcome, however, might only influence a few people who have no power to change much.

By discrediting that divide-and-rule plot being pushed by this Golden Billion proxy through its Editor-at-Large, however, much more people could become aware of the means through which that unipolar bloc is trying to manipulate their target audience’s perceptions about its multipolar opponents. They wouldn’t deliberately omit crucial facts if they were confident in their claims, which in turn very strongly suggests that the opposite is true: Russia and China remain close with no chance of a rift emerging.
