45 years ago the President of the United States Richard Nixon changed the balance of power in the triangle USSR-USA-China, focusing on progress in relations with Beijing.
Barak Obama has tried to reach out to Asia, while his successor, Donald Trump could not turn away from China to Russia, said the head of the Beijing "Washington Post" newsroom John Pomfret in a column published on the site list.
Nixon, on 4 February 1972 met with National Security Adviser, future Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, to discuss the upcoming visit to China. Kissinger, who has already managed to evaluate the situation in China during a secret visit, said to the President that "the Chinese and Russians are dangerous." In historical perspective, and more dangerous, claimed advisor.
Kissinger said on that occasion:
- For twenty years, your successor, if it be as sophisticated as you are wise, will rely on the Russians against the Chinese.
The diplomat suggested to the President to "balance the power game", using the contradictions between Moscow and Beijing.
The triangle Moscow, Washington and Beijing is visible on the world stage of the Cold War, according to a journalist. Fifties Eisenhower administration was trying to bring an apple of discord between Khrushchev and Mao Zedong, the attachment is with the USSR. Ten years later, Nixon has reviewed this policy and turned to China, a few years later, Jimmy Carter went for all or nothing, trying to block the spread of Soviet influence in Southeast Asia. He approved the invasion of China in Vietnam that has occurred since the Den Xiaoping became the first Chinese leader to visit the United States. Much of the behavior of Donald Trump says that the newly elected President of the United States is considering a shift, according Pomfret. Through press releases, phone calls and posts on Twitter Tramp showed the beginning of a new, tougher policy toward China.
Newly elected US leader for the first time after several decades of talks with President of Taiwan. Sometime later Tramp in an interview with "Fox News Sunday" said that he doubted the correctness of one-China policy, he chose America after Nixon's historic visit. He also accused Beijing of monetary and commercial machinations.
Donald Trump is positively minded towards Moscow. This is indicated by the positive tone of its statement of Vladimir Putin and the potential appointment of Rex Tilersona and Michael Flynn to the functions of the Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. Both candidates attributed to relations with Russia.
- It is now a question whether the Trampov reversal function in a world that is very changed compared with the period of the Cold War. What are the objectives, in addition to Beijing led to white-hot? And what America must give to Russia's yanked from the embrace of China? - Writes columnist.
Relations between Moscow and Beijing carry a business character - they are mutually supportive in the UN Security Council and lead joint military exercises in the South China Sea, according to a journalist. In addition, in recent decades, Russia is China sold arms worth in excess of $ 30 billion.
At the same time, China's economy is growing much faster than the Russian, which is why the Chinese could not believe Moscow "little sister" of Beijing, while the fifties, at the height of Sino-Soviet friendship, it was the Chinese "big brother". This state of affairs can not be like Russia, which is obviously interested in it to increase its influence in the Asia-Pacific region, said the journalist.
- In response to Trump's interview with the president of Taiwan Beijing has sent bombers to fly over the South China Sea. Russia leads the man that wants to restore the influence of the country to Soviet levels, when the USSR instilled fear countries around the world - said Pomfret.
Donald Trump's desire to play at the "Kissinger map" in such a relationship means great unpredictability of the world in which US power could no longer be considered unsurpassed concludes journalist.
