The incident of the Russian warship shelling the Chinese cargo ship was probably left alone after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued some indifferent remarks. This is our consistent style. [Reposted from Jagged Community /] This incident has clearly explained one thing, that is: Russia has never regarded China as a dish, and the Russians simply look down on the Chinese! Russians have a long history of despising the Chinese. First of all, Russia has a huge psychological advantage over China. This psychological advantage is based on Russia's victory in all wars against China since 1860. This history is well known and needs no further explanation. Unless China completely defeats Russia in the next war, this psychological advantage will remain with us throughout Sino-Russian relations. Second, Russia is far ahead of China in science and technology. So far, no local Chinese scientist has won the Nobel Prize in Natural Sciences, and China is hardly ahead of Russia in the field of cutting-edge science. Third, Russia looks down on China economically. Although China’s GDP is already the third in the world, how did it achieve this kind of GDP? They rely on working for developed countries, relying on selling cheap labor, relying on polluting the environment, and relying on exporting toys and clothes! GDP per capita is even more embarrassing. Fourth, Russia is strangling China’s energy sector. [Reposted from Jagged Community /] Fifth, Russia is a bloody nation, and the Chinese’s “hide your strength and bide your time” approach is cowardly and incompetent in the eyes of the Russians! To this day, China is often humiliated by some small and weak countries. Can a brave man look down on a coward? It is precisely based on the above five points that Russians despise the Chinese from the bottom of their hearts.

The extreme contempt for the Chinese makes Russia rude to the Chinese even when it needs help from China!
