Sino-Russian tap dance. Or how everyone is having military exercises together.
China and Russia have had several very public police and military exercises of late. So have India and the US. Japan and the US. Indonesia and the US. Hell, Chad and the US have done several active, realtime anti-terror operations in the last 3 years. China and Russia have been playing The Game for hundreds of years, with Russia taking it in the keister most of the time. Short of using nukes Russia will never beat out China. These periods of friendly cooperation are cosmetic, at best.
This article is just one of many, follow the related links. BBC has done a few, and I think Fox has, also.
In the end, global political inter-relations are higgledy piggledy, just as they always have been and will be forever more. Amen.
People should be far more concerned with Russia and Iran dancing. That is where the problems are developing.
