Academician: China is not a strategic ally, it will not send soldiers to fight for our interests

84

Although Russia and China have overlapping interests, our countries are not strategic partners. And we can not fully trust China.

This idea was expressed today by academician Alexei Arbatov during the online session of Primakov Readings, organized by the Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) RAS and the news agency Interfax.



Academician Arbatov heads the Center for International Security at IMEMO. He believes that Russia should become an independent center of power in the modern world.

Alexei Arbatov mentioned the events of half a century ago, when relations between Moscow and Beijing were so spoiled that the USSR called China the main threat to peace. The academician believes that today we hit the other extreme, calling China a strategic partner:

You can’t rush from one extreme to another, then China is our biggest threat to peace, then it is our strategic ally or partner. Such concepts cannot be thrown. A strategic ally is when you are ready to send your soldiers to fight for the interests of your ally and vice versa. I am sure that we and China do not and will not have such a situation.

              The USSR also helped China in the fight against the Japanese Militarists ... during WWII and the USA they helped, but this does not mean at all that China was a Strategic Ally of both the USSR and the USA. This is a situational alliance threatened by a common Enemy. The goals and objectives of each side are completely their own.
              So with your example.
              Colleague Rich (Dmitry Greetings hi) below on the branch clearly defined the Strategic Allies!

                In general, the USSR were just strategic allies under Stalin, in particular during the Korean War, the Chinese troops fought against the Americans instead of the Soviet specialists, but under Khrushchev they already fled

                  Ok ... let's try it differently! The USA during the WWII provided much more assistance to China than the USSR. It turned out for one simple reason - the Enemy of My Enemy, FRIEND !!! In your opinion, it turns out that they were also Strategic Allies ??? The USSR - also received US assistance ... also a Strategic Ally?
                  It is very interesting, you are not embarrassed that a little later during the War in Korea - so many Strategic Allies clashed?

                      ANY country will not sign a strategic military alliance agreement with the first one. Only with those with whom such an alliance is beneficial.
                      And Russia has a GREAT chance to make such an alliance profitable. Make friends against the USA.

                      Over time, it began to think that, in principle, China saw all the pale-faced in white slippers, without exception.

                Demanding "equidistance", the United States must abandon the policy of pressure. Otherwise, the balance will constantly change.

          What did Emperor Alexander III say about the allies there? Two of them in Russia. The most reliable and time-tested - ,, army and navy ,,. The time passed and one more was added - the Russian Air Force. It is difficult to resist and not comment on the abbreviation ,, videoconferencing ,,. To whom is the brain crippling hydrogen sulfide? ,, Cosmos ,, is one of the names of Satan. Schoolchildren know, but adult uncles from Moscow Oblast do not? Or haven't you played enough in Masonic toys? It is imperative that ,, roasted cock ,, thoroughly ,, pecked ,,, WITHOUT THIS? Surely ,, adventure ,, need?
          About China. What does China owe to Russia today? What ,, unusually warm feelings ,, SOCIALIST China should have for the state ,, Capitalist Russia ,,? China is a serious state working for the Chinese. Yes, globalists have a certain influence on him, but this state does not forget its people, its ancient country. ,, Sings his song ,,. And what ,, RK ,,? A surprisingly empty and meaningless state. Private opinion? No! CASES! Cases speak for themselves. RK is not even interesting for Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan .. They are not interested in communicating with him. What can give about n about China? The experience of PROKHINDEY riding on the necks of, dear Russians ,,? So in China there are enough of their cunning. Only there they know, “medicine”, against them. Two lead ,, pills ,, (main and spare - ,, safety ,,,), which are paid by relatives ,, terminally ill ,,.
          Time ,, RK ,, is over. None of the people (or ,, nonhumans ,,) can stop the Stories. It is necessary to change this to something more attractive. And for the people of Russia and for external partners. After all, there were other times. When China, for example, considered it an honor to be called a friend of Soviet Russia during the reign of Stalin I.V.

        I do not remember once that at the highest level, China was called an ally, but yes, a strategic partner. And why not, at a time when the US and NATO are completely off the rails, Japan is seriously arming itself, not having partners whose interests largely coincide with ours. Of course you don’t have to fall into euphoria and shout about eternal friendship, but this is not so. And if China will, all other things being equal, primarily buy our products, then we can only dream of such a market.

        Academician Alexei Arbatov: China is not a strategic ally

        Hunter 2 (Alexey): Damn it - Revealed the Truth!

        Greetings, Alex hi
        Really "Revealed the Truth" winked
        The President spoke about this earlier at the Russian-Chinese conference “Prospects for cooperation between Russia and China” on June 10, 2015, in Moscow: “Russia and China today are at the initial stage of development of relations of 'partnership' and in the mode of forming a 'strategic partnership' , but we haven't reached the stage of relations of the "strategic alliance" yet. "
        PS. The Soviet Military Encyclopedia defines 3 successive stages of interstate conscious relations:
        1. "Partnership" in general, it can only be in interaction and inter-co-action in important areas and areas that have a mutual, but rather narrow (utilitarian) interest, for example: space exploration, basic science, ecology, resource development, and so on.
        “Partnership” is in the nature of mutually beneficial cooperation and has a specific - project, and in general, temporary. In this regard, “partners” are united by the project goal, “touch” and interact in specific areas, pursue joint partnership goals, upon reaching which they can claim joint (and parity) operation of the results of the partnership (specific project), even in conditions of mismatch of the final strategic goals of its participants.
        “Partnership” does not generally change the established statuses and roles of their participants, but helps to strengthen them.
        2. “Partnerships”, even if they have a “special” status, they may not develop into relations of “strategic allies”.
        “Strategic partnership”, as a type of strategic relationship, is the cooperation of their entities (states) to achieve strategic goals. It can be initially determined by agreements or (and) formed by a successful “succession of partnerships”, and develop into its highest form, into relations of “strategic allies”.
        3. "Strategic Allies" - This is the highest form of strategic relations between the powers, they are united by a common ultimate Strategic Goal and mutually contribute to its achievement.
        Strategic allied relations are, as a rule, long-term in nature, involve the union of the nationwide potentials of allies, predetermine the sequence (algorithm, sequence), the level and scale of a specific project partnership, affect almost all fields of state life of the allied states and form a qualitatively different (higher) the level of their roles, statuses and capabilities.

        What are academics of such depth and thought. fool Whoever counts on China, there is not an army, but semolina ("Great China, the rest is dust underfoot"). You can't sit in the same trench with them. Jump together on the world political arena and maybe provide the rear. And "brotherhood in arms" is crap. And in vain we conduct land exercises with them, teach them how to fight. Show flags together in Persian or Baltic is politics, okay. But on tactics to train ... negative

      A strategic ally is when you are ready to send your soldiers to fight for the interests of your ally and vice versa.

      A strategic ally is when you lend a lot and for a long time, and then, in honor of paying off the debt, send the soldiers of a strategic ally to the slaughter. True, you still need to have your "lured" in the government of a strategic ally. History does not remember any other allies.

      now more likely it is not that China does not want to send its soldiers to fight for Russia, but that China wishes that Russia sent its soldiers to fight for China. It doesn't have to be
      to be regiments and battalions of motorized infantry or tank armies of Russia. But missile troops, submarines, reconnaissance and electronic warfare systems, as well as missile launch warning systems, are just what China can ask Russia if the Americans cross the red line with respect to China. But do not think that only Cuba, Vietnam, East Germany and the peoples of the former Yugoslavia have not forgotten Russia's betrayals of the Gorbachev and Yeltsin times. This is not forgotten, and China, as Russia, it turns out, can betray. So Gorbachev and Yeltsin still put on Russia the mask of a traitor to the allies, which has not been a thousand years in the history of Russia, until Russia and its allies were betrayed by Gorbachev and Yeltsin. China here does not mean temporary bad relations between the USSR and China during the Brezhnev era. This is normal practice between states. Things happen . But it was not a betrayal. But how then, under the Democrats, Russia betrayed its allies, it is China that remembers. And one should not hope that, since then the relations between China and Russia have become normal, then China has taken and forgot how Russia is able to deal with allies under certain rulers who can betray Russia's allies so-so, out of nothing to do, out of the blue , just to please the Americans and the West ...

      China will not send a soldier to fight for, say, Donbass, or Ossetia, even in the absolutely incredible case that NATO will really fit in for the Georgians and the Banderlog. But for the Arctic it may well be sent. China is already building icebreakers to support Chinese interests in polar waters. But the coastline of the Arctic and adjacent seas has long been divided, and the only way China can get a piece is to squeeze it out. And where will he do it? In Alaska? In Norway? Or on lands historically owned by China? As part of the restoration of "historical justice" that they regularly recall?

        Not serious.
        China can do this quite legally, simply by forcing us to enter into an "Arctic TRADE partnership" with it - only a very expensive infrastructure of the coast can secure OUR rights to own the NSR, and without huge loans from OUTSIDE we cannot pull this business. In this case, China will be able to warn (and together with us, prevent!) An attempt by the United States on the free use of the NSR by its navy. But I repeat: this is possible ONLY if China has ITS COMMERCIAL interests in the development of the NSR, but no one can guarantee that this will not be a "creeping conquest".

        It is divided exactly that the coastline of the Arctic, and open ocean areas they are free.
        In the USSR, on maps I drew my sea beads up to the North. the poles, but this was of no interest to anyone and was not recognized by anyone: the American nuclear submarines both sailed and continue to sail until now (if anyone doesn’t know, there are their regular missile positions for strikes against the USSR-RF).
        So, China may well claim to stake out some sections of the Arctic. Although there is no international legal mechanism for this.

        Maybe you will stop spreading this nonsense and myth? Claims for territories like Siberia and the Arctic are only from Taiwan, Siberia is shown in textbooks in Taiwan, not in the PRC. But why should the all-conspirators and conspiracy theorists delve into this, some Chinese scribbles are written in the same place, which means, in any case, the Chinese are from the PRC. In general, Taiwan has such claims to everyone around it at the level of hohlyatskiy wishes, the PRC and the Russian Federation have no complaints.

      Quite right, China has never been and never will be our military ally. But the threat to our territories, he never ceased to pose. Nevertheless, today it is still low in terms of threat. In many ways, this is facilitated by the huge volumes of resources exported from Russia to China, while China exports wagons from Russia by rail, everything suits him.

      Due to the actions of Beijing, the Third World War should begin, noted in a quoted post. China will hit Japan and Taiwan with nuclear weapons, after which Russia will oppose the PRC.

            Rome, of course, did not rule the whole world. They did not even imagine the real dimensions of this world. But he could dictate the conditions to most countries and peoples, of which Rome was aware. And the rest (from among those known to him) could not compete with him for the time being.

            The USSR and the USA, too, didn’t rule the whole world for two, although they were essentially two poles of the world.

      You can’t rush from one extreme to another, then China is our biggest threat to peace, then it is our strategic ally or partner. Such concepts cannot be thrown. A strategic ally is when you are ready to send your soldiers to fight for the interests of your ally and vice versa. I am sure that we and China do not and will not have such a situation.

      Countries become strategic allies if their strategic goals coincide.
      China has a strategic goal - to become a world leader, without commitments (unlike the United States).
      But what, excuse me, is Russia's strategic goal?
      I do not take into account the jokes from the Supreme, in the form:
      "In order to implement a breakthrough scientific, technological and socio-economic development of the Russian Federation, increase the population of the country, increase the standard of living of citizens, create comfortable conditions for their residence, as well as conditions and opportunities for self-realization and disclosure of the talent of each person, I decide:

      1. The Government of the Russian Federation to ensure the achievement of the following national development goals of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024:
      a) ensuring sustainable natural growth of the population of the Russian Federation;
      b) increase in life expectancy to 78 years (by 2030 year - to 80 years);
      c) ensuring a steady growth in real incomes of citizens, as well as an increase in the level of pensions above inflation;
      d) halving the level of poverty in the Russian Federation;
      e) improvement of living conditions for at least 5 million families annually;
      e) acceleration of the technological development of the Russian Federation, an increase in the number of organizations implementing technological innovations, up to 50 percent of their total number;
      g) ensuring accelerated introduction of digital technologies in the economy and the social sphere;
      h) the Russian Federation is among the five largest economies in the world, ensuring economic growth rates are higher than the world ones, while maintaining macroeconomic stability, including inflation, at a level not exceeding 4 percent;
      i) the creation in the basic sectors of the economy, primarily in the manufacturing industry and the agro-industrial complex, of a highly productive export-oriented sector, developing on the basis of modern technologies and provided with highly qualified personnel.

      What strategic goals does the Russian Federation have?
      I'm afraid to answer myself - no.
      About oil and gas, I will not.
