Russian President Vladimir Putin is facing a backlash from within the Kremlin over his pro-China policy, with elites fearing that Moscow is becoming a 'colony' of Beijing.
Vladimir Putin is facing intense criticism from rival factions within the Kremlin over his China policy, which could worsen Russia's economic crisis, with earlier reports suggesting China is 'bailing' Russia out by buying distressed assets.
Since the start of the Ukraine conflict - where Russia have endured huge personnel losses - in February 2022, Putin has strengthened political and economic ties with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, boosting their bilateral trade to a record $244.8 billion (£197 billion) last year.
While China, which has also launched joint military drills with Russia, has benefited from discounted Russian oil due to Western sanctions, purchasing up to 2.17 million barrels per day, growing unease is spreading among Russian elites.
Concerns are rising within Kremlin circles about the growing influence of a pro-China faction and Beijing's "colonial" approach to its dealings with Moscow. The fear is that China could be turning Russia into nothing more than a resource hub and a subordinate partner.

These stories are just bullcrap.
Russia has become a Western colony three decades ago. Now it is over, thanks to the sanctions, and it is reindustrializing.
Unlike Europe, China buys Russian finished products, from confectionery, sausages, and liquor to aircraft engines, electronics, and sophisticated weapons.
And the Chinese are not moving to Russia.
He said, she said, blah blah. Fact is senile Joe’s war with Russia has failed and has made Russia much stronger, the EU is the weakest since their inception.
They don’t need to sell to the West, they do well enough selling to China, India Africa and other countries, more than half the world’s population.
They are in need of nothing, totally self sufficient from energy to food, commodities to water.
Best we can do is get self sufficient like Russia, depending on no one for our
Sustenance. Rest assured, President Trump will work very hard at that.

It is very wise ( and intelligent) to learn the language of your neighbors and trading partners….one of my offspring speaks four languages, Russian being one of them. When I worked in Russia, all my “ trainees” kids spoke two, three other languages. At that time, English and German were essential for dealing in all the Joint Ventures.
As the world’s Wealth is starting to move away from the West to the East, Eastern languages ( and passports) will be in high demand….and yes, my kids have more than one passport, a must in dealing with Visas, finances, and other matters.
While I find your post quite humorous, I feel i must admonish you - *DONT FEED THE TROLLS*
