Putin names ‘standard’ for international relations

Other nations would be wise to look up to Moscow and Beijing, the Russian president has said

Relations between Russia and China have reached such a high level that they can be used as an example by other nations, President Vladimir Putin said during his meeting with the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Kazan. The two leaders met on Tuesday ahead of the main event to discuss a wide range of issues.

Cooperation between the two neighbors is of “equal and mutually beneficial nature” and does not depend on the outside environment, Putin said, adding that Russian-Chinese relations have reached “the level of comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation.”

“We can say with full confidence that they’ve become a standard for how relations between two states should be built in the modern world,” the Russian leader stated. He also maintained that cooperation between Russia and China is one of the “stabilizing factors on the world arena.”

Xi praised China’s bilateral relations with Russia and said that, over the past decade, they had come a long way and reached an unprecedented level. The two global powers make a great contribution to “defending international justice,” he added.

Following the talks between the two leaders, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the meeting as “very open” and “constructive.”

China is Russia’s biggest trade partner and the economic cooperation between the two nations has been steadily growing despite the unprecedented Western sanctions. The Russian-Chinese trade volume amounted to $82 billion over the nine months of this year, according to the Russian media, citing the Chinese customs data.

That is almost as much as over 10 months of 2023 that was previously considered a record year for bilateral trade between the two nations. This year could be the record of 2023, the media reported, adding that the trade volume between the two neighbors has grown by two times and a half since 2020.

In August, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that over 95% of mutual settlements between Russia and China are carried out using the ruble or yuan.

Michigan Voter Rolls Claim 8.4M Voters, When There Are Less Than 8M Eligible Residents

The voter rolls in Michigan claim that there are 8.4 million people registered to vote in the crucial swing state, even though the state’s total population is almost half a million less than that.

According to the Daily Wire, the state of Michigan had previously been sued by the Republican National Committee (RNC) over the extremely inflated voter rolls, and other concerns regarding election integrity. But Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D-Mich.) dismissed such concerns in a statement on Wednesday, claiming with no evidence that these lawsuits “lay the groundwork to overturn the results of the election if they don’t like them.”

“The RNC and its members are concerned that Defendants’ failure to comply with the NVRA’s voter-list maintenance obligations undermines the integrity of elections by increasing the opportunity for ineligible voters or voters intent on fraud to cast ballots,” the RNC’s lawsuit states.

A spokeswoman for Benson’s office, Angela Benander, even admitted that there are at least 606,800 inactive voters currently on the rolls, but they will not be purged until 2027. Voters who become ineligible include those who have moved to another state, those who have mail returned from their address as “undeliverable,” and voters who do not vote in two or more consecutive federal elections.

In total, 78 of Michigan’s 83 counties appear to have more registered voters than residents of voting age. The largest county in the state, Wayne County – where the city of Detroit is located – has only 1.3 million residents of voting age, but 1.4 million registered voters, according to data from the U.S. Census. Another example is Genessee County, with 351,000 registered voters but less than 300,000 residents.

“The RNC relies on registration lists to estimate voter turnout, which informs the number of staff the RNC needs in a given jurisdiction, the number of volunteers needed to contact voters, and how much the RNC will spend on paid voter contacts,” the RNC’s lawsuit continued. “If voter registration lists include names of voters who should no longer be on the list, the RNC may spend more resources on mailers, knocking on doors, and otherwise trying to contact voters, or it may misallocate its scarce resources among different jurisdictions.”
