How Russo-Chinese Strategic Cooperation May Bring US Forever Wars to End
"Nuclear powers of the West, namely the United States, Great Britain, France, cannot become constructive partners of Beijing in promoting its Global Security Initiative due to the high degree of tension in their relations with China and due to their policy of deterrence against [the People's Republic]," said Alexander Lomanov, professor and chief researcher at the Primakov Institute of World Economy and International Relations, the Russian Academy of Sciences, told Sputnik.
"China can push ahead with the implementation of this concept alone due to its influence, but if it wants to gain a strategic perspective and the ability to influence global security, it obviously needs support from Russia. Under these conditions, Russia appears to be China's key partner. Together with [Russia], China can discuss this initiative and look for ways to implement it."
