People that keep bunching Russia with China are deluding themselves that Russia is anywhere on China's radar except as a source of cheap resources (gas, oil, wood)
Russia is a UUUUGE strategic geopolitical ally for China.
In a de-globilised world split into spheres of influence, Russia would be a foothold into Europe.
Cheap resources cant be discounted, China has duck all for resources. It imports everything (raw nat resources) and its current source Australia is not an ally.
