As for the upcoming G20 summit, Putin told the media that he would attend the meeting. However, the United States, which has always taken the lead in sanctions against Russia, is somewhat "unwilling".
According to media reports, the United States and its allies are trying to kick Russia out of the G20. They believe that Russia may no longer be suitable to stay in this organization, because Russia's current military operations in Ukraine should be punished by the international community, so they hope that Russia can withdraw from this international economic cooperation organization.
Public opinion believes that if Russia is "kicked out" of the G20, it represents the escalation of economic sanctions against Russia by the United States and western countries, which is very unfavorable for Russia.
On the 23rd, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, foreign media also asked Wang Wenbin, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, about this matter.
Wang Wenbin said: Russia is a member of the G20, in which Russia also has a very important position. Moreover, no member country has the right to expel other countries.
International experts believe that the attitude of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has been very clear. If the United States and its allies really propose to kick Russia out of the G20, it may be rejected by China. The decision made by the Chinese side also fully complies with the relevant rules of the G20.
Some critics also believe that the United States and its allies are too "fanciful". After all, the G20 is not NATO, nor those "small circles" established by the United States and other countries. The United States has no right to decide the fate of Russia in the G20.
Perhaps the United States and its allies do not want to see Russia at the upcoming G20 summit. After all, the two sides are currently on the opposite side.
However, Russia's announcement of its withdrawal from the Council of Europe and the International Association of Prosecutors may have given the United States more "confidence".
Before that, because the Beixi 2 project between Russia and Germany had to be stopped due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the US sanctions, the members of the European Commission where Russia was originally located had the same position with the US, and even united to sanction Russia.
Therefore, Russia, which has no "nostalgia" for the European Commission, announced its withdrawal from the institution. Public opinion believes that this is also a right choice for Russia. However, perhaps in the eyes of the United States and its allies, this is Russia's "concession".
Later, the Hague International Arbitration Court passed the judgment of Russia's withdrawal from Ukraine with 13 affirmative votes. This once again "angered" Russia. The Russian Attorney General's Office announced its withdrawal from the International Association of Prosecutors.
Watching Russia withdraw from international associations one after another, the United States may wish to let Russia lose more voice in international organizations, so it started to think about letting Russia withdraw from the G20.
However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China believes that the G20 is an organization to promote international economic cooperation. Under the epidemic, all countries in the G20 should unite to make efforts to revive the global economy and maintain the healthy development of the global economy. Therefore, the members of the G20 should focus on the problems existing in the global economy at present, rather than trying to kick Russia out of the organization.
Foreign media believe that even if the United States and its allies launched a vote to kick Russia out of the organization, China would also vote against it.
