图片说明：17日，俄罗斯总统普京在哈尔滨出席第八届中俄博览会开幕式，并在中国国家副主席韩正的陪同下进行参观。    The ouster of Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has roused substantial global media attention, particularly in light of the colorful images coming out of the country of protesters storming his opulent Colombo residence and turning it into a tourist attraction, posing for selfies, and organizing pool parties and cookouts.,But the chaos in Colombo isn’t the first time in the last decade or so that a head of state has been ousted from office in a time of crisis and forced to flee, with the last dozen years witnessing at least five comparable cases.,Ashraf Ghani’s Bags of Money,Last August, a ten-day blitzkrieg offensive by the Taliban* to capture cities in the midst of the NATO withdrawal culminated in the fall of Kabul and the collapse of the Afghan government. President Ashraf Ghani, the US-educated academic-turned president, fled the country he ruled at the West’s behest for seven years.,Ghani evacuated Kabul on August 15, the same day that Taliban fighters entered the city, and eventually ended up in the United Arab Emirates, where he took refuge. Ghani apologized to his countrymen and women for bolting, saying that leaving the capital “was the most difficult decision” of his life and that he took it to avoid a repeat of the bloody street fighting witnessed in the city between government and Taliban forces in the 1990s. In addition, he said, his security team had advised him not to stay due to the risk of assassination or capture.,The Russian Embassy in Kabul painted a different story, alleging that Ghani fled the city in a convoy of vehicles stuffed with so much cash that it could not fit in a helicopter which took him out of the country. UK media later alleged that Ghani may have sought to smuggle as much as $169 million in cash out of Kabul, with a former bodyguard later confirming that the ex-president’s entourage was carrying “many big bags” containing “hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of dollars.”,Ghani has categorically rejected the allegations against him, and has said that he would welcome an international investigation to clear his good name.,AfghanistanEx-Afghan President Ghani Says He Was Made 'Scapegoat' for Fleeing, Blames Trump - Report 31 December 2021, 03:27 GMT,Evo Morales’ Happy Ending,On November 10, 2019, Bolivia’s long-serving democratic socialist president Evo Morales was forced to step down after weeks of protests sparked by an election whose results were disputed by the country’s US-backed opposition. Characterizing the crisis as a “coup” and fearing he would be killed by assassins hired out by his enemies, Morales fled to Mexico, where he was granted asylum by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.,The Trump administration hailed Morales’ ouster, with the US president tweeting that the unrest sent “a strong signal to the illegitimate regimes in Venezuela and Nicaragua that democracy and the will of the people will always prevail.”,But the anti-Morales’ plot’s victory was short-lived. Immediately after touching down in Mexico, Morales vowed that he’d remain in politics, and that his “fight” against “discrimination and humiliation” would continue.,In late 2019, after the election victory of leftist forces in Argentina, Morales traveled to that country, where he was granted asylum. In November 2020, after new elections in his home country saw the victory of Luis Arce, his former finance minister, Morales triumphantly returned to Bolivia. Today, although he is not president, Morales remains a major force in Bolivian politics, consistently attacking “Yankee imperialism” and recently calling on Bolivia and Argentina to join forces to become a global lithium-producing superpower.,The fate of his adversaries has not been so bright, with Jeanine Anez, the right wing politician who took over after Morales’ ouster, recently sentenced to ten years in prison for her role in the 2019 coup.,© Photo : Twitter / @evoespuebloFormer Bolivian President Evo Morales during his triumphant return to his home country in November 2020.Former Bolivian President Evo Morales during his triumphant return to his home country in November 2020.© Photo : Twitter / @evoespueblo,Yemen’s Hadi,In 2012, Yemeni politician Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi seemed to have the world at his feet. Succeeding President Ali Abdullah Saleh, whom he faithfully served as vice president starting in 1994, Hadi won the February 2012 presidential elections with an impressive 100 percent of the vote, running as the sole candidate. He proceeded to initiate a US- and Saudi-supported reform program aimed at transforming Yemen into a federal model of government under which six regions would enjoy large-scale political autonomy. Hadi also supported ramping up cooperation with Washington to fight piracy in the Gulf of Aden, and al-Qaeda** cells attempting to set up shop in Yemen’s sparsely populated northeastern territories.,Hadi’s reforms, allegations of corruption, and the ill-fated decision to end fuel subsidies in 2014 proved fatal, and between late 2014 and early 2015, much of the country was overrun by the Houthis, an Islamist, social justice-oriented political and militant movement dominant in the country’s populous western provinces. In January 2015, Hadi left his presidential palace in Sana’a for the last time, and, without resigning, flew to Saudi Arabia.,© AP Photo / Hani MohammedShiite Houthi tribesmen hold their weapons as they chant slogans during a tribal gathering showing support for the Houthi movement, in Sanaa, Yemen, Saturday Sept. 21, 2019Shiite Houthi tribesmen hold their weapons as they chant slogans during a tribal gathering showing support for the Houthi movement, in Sanaa, Yemen, Saturday Sept. 21, 2019© AP Photo / Hani Mohammed,Two months later, in March 2015, a Saudi-led military coalition began a military operation in Yemen aimed at restoring Hadi to power. Seven years on, the coalition has made little progress, and the impoverished southern Arabian nation remains mired in a deep political, military, economic and humanitarian crisis. Meanwhile, the Houthis have counterattacked by launching drone and missile strikes targeting Saudi infrastructure, military bases, airports, oil facilities, missile defense systems and cities, with no amount of sophisticated US-made air defense hardware seeming sufficient to stop the attacks.,As for Hadi, the exiled president resigned from the post in April, transferring power to an eight-member ‘presidential leadership council’ tasked with negotiating a permanent ceasefire with the Houthis.,Saudi Arabia ‘Pushed’ Yemen’s Hadi to Resign, Placed Him on House Arrest - WSJ17 April, 22:22 GMT,Ukraine’s Yanukovych,Of all the ejections from office featured in this list so far, perhaps none have been more consequential to the geopolitical instability being experienced by the world today than that of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.,Yanukovych handcrafted the crisis which would culminate in his ouster in the winter of 2013 by pulling a major political U-turn and rejecting an association agreement with the European Union in favor of closer ties with the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union. The decision prompted pro-EU protesters to flood the center of Kiev, with demonstrators establishing tent encampments and occupying the heart of the city – the Maidan Nezalezhnosti (lit. ‘Independence Square’).,Protests continued for weeks, with Yanukovych making concessions under EU pressure, accepting the resignation of the government of Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov in late January, and negotiating with an increasingly emboldened opposition to try to resolve the crisis.,On February 20, protests turned bloody, with 49 demonstrators and four police officers killed by mysterious snipers in a single day. On February 22, just a day after reaching an EU-backed agreement on the settling the crisis through early elections, Yanukovych fled Kiev in fear for his life, traveling east and slipping across the border into Russia, where he was offered refuge. Pro-European forces in Ukraine’s parliament drafted a resolution to strip Yanukovych of power, claiming he had “withdrawn from his duties in an unconstitutional manner.” From Russia, Yanukovych blasted the new authorities, and characterized his ouster as a coup d’état.,Kiev, Washington Responsible for Failure of Minsk Peace Agreements, Ukraine's Former President Says14 March, 15:17 GMT,Tunisia’s Ben Ali,On January 14, 2011, President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s 24-year reign as Tunisian leader came to an end, with the president and his family fleeing the country to Saudi Arabia after weeks of protests which would hail the start of the so-called ‘Arab Spring’. The ‘Tunisian Revolution’ was driven by long-standing grievances among Tunisians about corruption, high unemployment, inflation, and general poor living conditions, as well as limitations on freedom of speech. The protests were sparked by 26-year-old street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi, who set himself on fire in the street after police confiscated his wares when he failed to pay a bribe, and after his plea for help from the local governor was left unanswered. The young man's act, which would cause over 100 copycat immolation attempts, would spark a month of protests which culminated in Ben Ali’s ouster.,After his ejection, the Tunisian president would live to a ripe old age of 83, passing away in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in September 2019. But the unrest which his removal sparked would end up transforming much of the Middle East and engulfing some of its countries in crisis which continue to reverberate to this day. In 2011, major protests rocked Algeria and Yemen, and led to the overthrow of the government of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt. In Libya, NATO lent a ‘helping hand’ to anti-government rebels by launching a campaign of airstrikes against forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, culminating in his ouster and televised murder, and turning Libya into a failed state. The contagion of the Arab Spring also spread to Syria, which was turned into a breeding ground for jihadist militants who flocked to the country from the region and across the globe to take part in the unsuccessful US, Turkish, Saudi and Qatari-backed campaign to try to oust the government of Bashar Assad.,Ousted Tunisian President Ben Ali Buried in Saudi Arabia - Reports21 September 2019, 17:53 GMT,* An organization subject to United Nations sanctions for terrorist activities.,** A terrorist group outlawed in Russia and many other countries.。（俄罗斯卫星通讯社）

17日凌晨，正在中国进行国事访问的俄罗斯总统普京抵达哈尔滨，继续访华之旅。当天，中国国家副主席韩正在哈尔滨同普京共同出席第八届中俄博览会开幕式，宣读习近平主席贺信并致辞。普京会见韩正时表示，我同习近平主席进行了内容充实、富有成效的会晤，为两国关系发展作出长远规划，访问取得圆满成功。双方要密切协调配合，加强各领域务实合作，进一步推进远东—东北地方合作，推动两国关系实现更好发展。

二 | 俄REN TV电视台网站17日报道称，普京此次专程前往哈尔滨，参加第八届中俄博览会和第四届中俄区域合作论坛开幕式，体现了俄方对两国地方合作的重视。黑龙江省是中国对俄经贸合作的重要省份之一，该省不仅同俄接壤，还留有宝贵的历史文化记忆，双方各领域合作成果丰硕。俄卫星通讯社17日称，普京此次访华的主要成果体现了俄中两国在地区和国际事务中的战略协调和合作，并向外界传递了两国坚定维护多边主义和国际秩序的决心。

习近平在致第八届中俄博览会的贺信中指出，在两国共同努力下，中俄关系一步一个脚印扎实向前迈进，以实实在在的合作成果造福两国人民。今年是中俄建交75周年。站在新的历史起点上，两国关系将迎来新的历史机遇，展现更加广阔的发展前景。习近平强调，经过多年培育、发展，中俄博览会已经成为推动双边经贸合作的重要平台。希望两国各界充分利用本届博览会契机，深入交流，共享机遇，共同为推进中俄互利合作添砖加瓦，为两国新时代全面战略协作伙伴关系发展注入新动力。

普京致辞说，我同习近平主席在北京进行了富有成果的会晤，为两国关系发展和扩大务实合作达成重要共识。哈尔滨是俄中文化交相辉映的典范。我们珍视两国友好合作传统。希望双方深挖潜力，积极发挥俄中博览会平台作用，推动两国经贸、投资、能源、工业、高新技术、跨境交通、旅游、农业、地方等领域合作取得新进展，凝聚共识，为两国人民带来更多福祉。

随后，韩正陪同普京巡视博览会展馆，听取两国合作情况介绍，与参展机构负责人互动交流。俄《消息报》17日称，在莫斯科展区，莫斯科动物园园长阿库洛娃向普京介绍了首只在俄出生的大熊猫“喀秋莎”。

据俄媒报道，普京当天还向苏联红军烈士纪念碑献花，并参观哈尔滨工业大学。

六 | 俄塔社称，普京在与哈工大师生交流时表示，在日程允许的情况下，自己喜欢读书。“我床头有一些书，一旦我有时间，特别是在睡前，我就试着打开和阅读这些书。”此外，普京被问及最喜欢吃哪些中国菜时表示，世界上伟大的美食并不多，但中餐是其中之一。他提到自己前一天出席招待宴会时品尝了北京烤鸭，“说实话，我原本只想吃一块。但我没忍住，吃了第二块，太好吃了！”

俄总统新闻秘书佩斯科夫17日对俄《消息报》表示，中俄博览会为两国拓展更多领域合作、实现更大互利共赢提供了重要平台。地方合作是俄中经贸合作的重要组成部分，双方在该层面合作内容非常丰富，具有广阔前景。

“通过参加此次博览会，我们的目标是进一步打入俄罗斯市场。俄罗斯人民对传统中药有着浓厚的兴趣，这为我们的产品出口提供了良好的基础。”山西振东制药有限公司的高经理17日对《环球时报》记者表示，中俄经贸关系的巨大潜力推动了其所在公司在俄罗斯市场的销售。

今年是中俄建交75周年。中俄政治互信持续深化，经贸合作结出累累硕果。据俄卫星通讯社17日报道，普京在第八届中俄博览会开幕式致辞时表示，俄罗斯支持中方在俄境内进行本地化生产，并愿意为投资者提供优惠、帮助和支持。普京还强调两国间运输物流通道的蓬勃发展，并承诺将继续缩短俄中边境货物和车辆的检查时间。此外，俄地方政府深入研究、细化了相关领域的倡议。例如，卡卢加州打算同中国在汽车领域开展合作。据俄塔社17日报道，此次访华期间，俄代表团成员之一的俄经济发展部长列舍特尼科夫表示，俄中各领域合作正在稳步拓展，每年都有新的合作项目补充投资组合。目前，双方在运输、物流、汽车工业、农业、天然气化工和采矿等领域有80多个大型项目正在进行，总投资约2000亿美元。

据中国商务部欧亚司司长刘雪松本月初介绍，中俄贸易规模持续扩大，2023年双边贸易额达到2401亿美元，提前达到2000亿美元的目标。今年一季度，双边贸易额566.8亿美元，同比增长5.2%，继续保持良好发展势头。此外，中俄重点项目稳步实施。中俄原油管道、东线天然气管道平稳运行，黑河公路桥、同江铁路桥过货量持续提升，双方在能源、航空、航天等领域合作的质量和水平不断提高。

俄卫星通讯社17日援引俄中总商会战略发展中心主任乌斯秋扎宁的话称，普京此次访华使讨论两国在新条件下的经贸合作成为可能。

七 | 目前，俄中两国企业家大大加强了合作，贸易额显著增加。此次访问的主题之一是共建“一带一路”倡议和欧亚经济联盟进一步对接，如果成功实施，将为俄罗斯企业家进入新市场开辟新机遇。

绥芬河中速汽车进出口有限公司俄罗斯总经理陈刚17日对《环球时报》记者表示，自己对今明两年俄罗斯市场对中国汽车的需求十分看好，因为不管是新能源车还是油车，国产汽车都在成本和质量上很有竞争力，预计今年俄罗斯仍会是一个“中国汽车进口大年”。

按照计划，普京17日结束对中国的国事访问。当天，外交部欧亚司司长刘彬介绍普京总统对华进行国事访问情况时表示，此访期间，习近平主席同普京总统举行了坦诚友好、内容丰富的会晤，从历史和现实视角全面总结双边关系发展成功经验，在新的历史起点上为未来一个时期中俄关系发展擘画了蓝图，为两国战略协作和各领域合作作出顶层设计和战略部署。两国元首共同签署并发表《中华人民共和国和俄罗斯联邦在两国建交75周年之际关于深化新时代全面战略协作伙伴关系的联合声明》，见证了双方10多份重要合作文件的签署。普京总统还赴哈尔滨出席第八届中俄博览会，为双方经贸合作发展注入了新的动力。习近平主席同普京总统还共同出席“中俄文化年”开幕式暨庆祝中俄建交75周年专场音乐会。年内双方还将举办一系列丰富多彩的文化交流项目。相信中俄文化年的举办将进一步激发两国文化合作潜力，共同开辟两国人民相知相亲的新愿景。

俄卫星通讯社17日援引专家的话称，此次俄中领导人会晤的主要地缘战略成果体现在三方面：一是深化政治互信。双方再次确认了在重大问题上相互支持的承诺，这有助于加强彼此的战略合作，共同维护地区和全球稳定；二是强调多边主义和国际法。这表明两国愿意在国际事务中发挥积极的作用，维护以联合国为核心的国际秩序，反对单边主义和霸权主义；三是推动双边务实合作。双方达成的一系列合作协议有助于进一步深化俄中关系，在双方共同利益基础上实现互利共赢。

俄罗斯科学院高级研究员杨娜·列克休金娜表示，俄中领导人会晤向西方发出的一个重要信号是，俄中伙伴关系不针对第三国。双边关系是建立在相互利益之上，而非一时之举。“也就是说，两国拉近关系，并非源于目前的地缘政治局势，而是根据本国国内发展的逻辑来构建关系的。这是非常重要的基点。”▲
