“The signs of a steadily growing partnership between Russia and China are quite clearly visible,” the author is convinced, recalling the reciprocal visits of the leaders of the countries to the Victory Parades, which emphasizes the “common history suffering from catastrophic losses in the immense fire of the Second World War ".

While “Chinese diplomats stick to the classical Chinese stratagem“ To be on the top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight ”.” But do not deceive yourself, because "The history shows many examples of a very high level of cooperation between the Russian Federation and China."
“A double combination of“ rebalancing ”in tandem with the fact that the West is still developing a strategic response to the Ukrainian crisis may be enough to reinforce the geopolitical significance of the Eurasian counterweight,” Goldstein concludes.
