The Conversation: the rapprochement between China and Russia is a geopolitical mistake USA
Seeking the introduction of new sanctions against Russia, as well as reflecting on the arms supplies to Ukraine, U.S. policy seems to be not thinking about the long-term geopolitical influence on the relations of Russia with China, says.
according to the IMF, China now exceeds the U.S. economy, taking into account the purchasing power parity. Beijing is also involved in building military capabilities, and China aims to become the dominant force in their own region. Russia helps China, and if the United States and Europe will not change its hostile attitude towards the Russian Federation, China is already in a very short time will be able to resist America, " the magazine writes.
The logic of rapprochement between Russia and China is simple: China needs resources, and Russia has them. Russia needs markets and foreign investment, and China is ready to offer them. Intersect and geopolitical desires pairs of countries: China does not want to influence the United States in the South China sea, Russia does not want the United States and Europe into spheres of influence.
the journal emphasizes that the overwhelming number of American analysts believe China's most significant political challenge for the United States. For this reason Washington makes a "geopolitical mistake," conducting a hostile Russia policy and provoking the convergence of the two countries.
