The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The unusual presence of Russian warships near Taiwan is very concerning, as the Kremlin has acted in the interests of Beijing to get diplomatic cover and continue its conspiracy of aggression and expansion. Authoritarian countries have deepened ties since Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine last year, with Moscow reaffirming its support for Chinese expansionism.

Establishment-critical narrative

Given that the Sino-Russian alliance offers a constructive, multipolar alternative to Western global dominance, it is no surprise that the US and its puppet allies are resorting to bellicose words and deeds in a last-ditch to prevent this new geopolitical era. Under such circumstances, the Ukraine crisis, the Taiwan issue, and human rights are being politicized by the West to slander both Beijing and Moscow.
