Selle kõne võiks nt hr Bahovski Diplomaatias eesti keeles avaldada küll. Paneb mõtlema. Pole päris käpad püsti Vene ja Hiina strateegia ees avaldus, aga lääneriikide kehva seisu märgib küll ilmekalt. Ja ühtsuse lagunemine on ees: näis mis pöörded võtab Trumpi uue ametiaja valimiskampaania, Brexit toimub lähiajal. Venemaa kohta selline lõik kõnest:
PS Venemaa hiinlastele "jätmine" oleks mu meelsest õiglane karistus.
Markus Ederer oma märgukirjas rõhutas samuti, teeme parem ise venelastega koostööd, ärme jäta neid hiinlastele.Look at that great country: it has gained room for manoeuvre thanks to our weaknesses. In the past five years Russia has played an unprecedented role in every major conflict; it has played an unprecedented role because the United States of America, Britain and France have been weak. We set red lines, they were crossed and we did not take action. They understood this very well, they advanced, and so we cannot shun people when we are weak: we must choose an approach. And it is not in our interest to take a heavy-handed approach to our neighbour. In the current situation, Russia has maximized all its interests: it has returned to Syria, it has returned to Libya, it has returned to Africa, it is present in every crisis because of our weaknesses or mistakes. But will this situation continue? I do not think so, and if I were in the Russians’ shoes – which is always the question we must ask ourselves – I would pause for thought, because that great power, which invests a great deal in arming itself and frightens us so much, has the gross domestic product of Spain, a declining demographic, an ageing population and growing political tension. Do you think anyone can last like that? I do not think Russia’s destiny is to be the minority ally of China, and so at a given moment we must also, through this stringent dialogue and the conditions we set, offer a strategic option to that country, which will inevitably face the issue, inevitably, and it is up to us to prepare it and make progress on this point.
