Russia without veto power would be Pakistan 2.0 in terms of its closeness to China. Their UN Veto power is the only thing protecting them from becoming North Korea. Nukes are only good for not getting nuked. Pakistan depended on China for years to thwart Western pressure. They can't, but if they could, removing the veto power of Russia would be an astronomical self-own for the West. Russia as an independent political player is better for the West. Just look at how many Chinese policies were disrupted in the Middle East and Africa because of Russia's powerplays to gain more political power.
Middleast is very sophisticated than most people assume about them. Russia can create its own UN. that Veto at UN is overrated as there some others in that council that cannot resist pressure. Pakistan cannot buy energy from Iran while Russia built nuclear plant for Iran and with no limit passenger aviation flights. it takes decades to built credibility and culture strength.

“Surely our country has a long history of good and truly in-depth relations with Iraqi Kurds,” said Ambassador Kutrashev. “In this regard, we may recall that Mullah Mustafa Barzani and his comrades with their families enjoyed shelter and support from the USSR government.”

Why is Africa turning away from the United States? | The Bottom Line Al Jazeera​


Officials in the United States look upon Africans as people “in need of help” or people who “need to be told what to do”, and this is destroying relations between Africa and Washington, according to the former African Union representative to the US, Arikana Chihombori-Quao.

“The US needs to call a timeout and treat Africans with respect,” Chihombori told host Steve Clemons, adding that the US-Africa Leaders Summit hosted by the White House this week “will fail unless Americans see Africans as equals".

Chihombori-Quao argues that pan-African unity is the only path for the continent to be less dependent on outside powers.

Businesses, economists positive on China consumption rebound soon
"People's feelings and attitude toward a situation can fluctuate wildly in a matter of two weeks, and the new feeling often negate the older feelings," Cao said. "As people get out of one system and venture into another, they are cautious. But once they get used to the new norms, they will be bold again."

"I think the Chinese society will come back in full strength at latest by next March and April, and I am already planning to open up a new restaurant by then to tap the recovered consumption," Liu said

Also, don't hope they would expect anything less from China. Treating them as if we were the colonial masters would lead to them telling us to get up from the basement.

Maitreya Baikal did a complete 180 and transformed into an outright anti-China and anti-Chinese over-nationalist ranting machine ever since the China-India border clash a few days ago.

That did caught me off-guard, as he was usually pro-China with his stance. Unfortunately, I have blocked him as a result of that.
Maitreya Baikal always starts shitting on China whenever some China-India border thing comes up, this isn't new. You can check out his 2020 and 2021 tweets about this. He is funny and provocative at times, but not sure if suitable for CGTN opinions after too many anti-China tweets when it involves India's interest.

$350 Billion is very different than $350 million. For a second there I thought the US was competing with China in Africa.
The effect of $350 million is not necessarily worse than that of $350 billion, and it may play the same role.
For example, use this money to buy some officials, armed forces, political opposition or NGOs.
