Commentary from {[theepochtimes.com/how-ukraine-may-have-saved-communist-china_4320945.htm]}
Russia’s war with Ukraine saved the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its People’s Republic of China (PRC).
The isolation of Russia as part of the U.S.-led global information warfare campaign has driven Russia “back into the arms of Beijing,” just as China’s economy was imploding, and China desperately needed Russian energy and food.
So the PRC now becomes more dependent on Russia, allowing the CCP to survive.
China, as the world’s largest importer of food and energy, now has diminishing foreign currency reserves, and sees that Russia has nowhere else to go except to sell to the PRC.
It took several decades to reach the point where the world had once again become strategically bipolar.
The wake-up call for Beijing came with the May 7, 1999, “accidental” strike by U.S. direct attack munitions (DAM) on the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, during U.S./NATO Operation Allied Force. The strike did far more than just anger Beijing and the Chinese people; it triggered a sober internal assessment of the state of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The incident had a similar impact on Russian strategic planners.
That may have been the single most important U.S. act of self-inflicted damage since President Jimmy Carter withdrew the United States from control of the Panama Canal in 1977.
From that point, both Beijing and Moscow began examining ways to leapfrog U.S. technological leadership and operational doctrine in the military sphere, creating, as a result, capabilities which have overtaken the United States in many areas.
The watershed of the 2022 Russian action against Ukraine has stimulated the next phase of Beijing’s evaluation of the prospects of conflict and competition over the coming decade.
What, then, are some of Beijing’s concerns?'

I'm not sure this cooperation of convenience will last. It is likely their relationship will develop much as Stalin and Hitler. 2 nations who lie and look to expand create suspicion that eats away at the trust and one will eventually act accordingly.

Had a feeling that Russia and China would be in bed together MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D.
