According to the readers of the Chinese portal Guancha.cn, the West’s accusations against Russia are unfounded and are an attempt to shift the responsibility “from a sore head to a healthy one.”
As Ukraina.ru writes, speaking at the Russian Energy Week forum, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow had never considered energy resources as a weapon or an instrument of pressure.
Chinese netizens commented on the words of the Russian leader on the portal of the Guancha edition.
“The West will certainly lose!”
“It’s your own fault, and now you are accusing others of raising prices!”
“How can this be a weapon? Let us then admit that you use “human rights” as a weapon, otherwise how can energy also be a weapon?” – wrote the Chinese readers in the comments under the material.
In addition, in his speech, Putin noted that over the past ten years, systemic flaws have been progressively introduced into the European energy system, which have become the cause of the crisis.
