The head of the EM warned that future arms supply from China to Russia could occur only if the United States makes rapid moves to limit Taiwan. This insight comes from a briefing attributed to Alexander Lomanov of Primakov RAS and was reported by Lenta.ru.
In Lomanov’s assessment, China might consider countermeasures toward Taiwan and the United States if Beijing observes persistent attempts to push past red lines that are deemed final and non negotiable by the Chinese leadership.
He cautioned that should the United States escalate actions that China regards as a sharp violation of its red lines, Beijing could feel a strong impulse to retaliate. Such a response would be viewed as a significant strategic signal, potentially altering the calculus of regional security and prompting Beijing to reassess its options in the Taiwan Strait.
Earlier reports noted protests in response to a visit by Taiwan’s president to the United States, highlighting the inflammatory nature of high-level gestures across the Taiwan issue and the way they resonate in China’s domestic and regional policy calculations.
Additionally, Edward Chesnokov weighed in on the broader dynamics, labeling the United States’ positions on Ukraine and Taiwan as hypocritical. Chesnokov argued that Beijing understands Taiwan as more than a separatist entity; it is framed as an existential concern that bears directly on China’s national security and its assessment of regional stability.
