From the Sino-Russian Joint Statement of April 23, 1997:
"The two sides [China and Russia] shall, in the spirit of partnership, strive to promote the multipolarization of the world and the establishment of a new international order."

And...where in there does it say they desire an expansion of territory?

Why can’t China and Russia decide that its time to use their global economic influence to affect how things go on in their sphere?

Why cant China build a new port? They are allowed to have a Navy, right? We have one. I don’t see them shooting off cruise missiles at anyone. Do you?

Joint military issues. Who would you think they would have joint military exercises with? India? Vietnam? The US?

You state a lot of things that show China is becoming a player on the world stage.

But, tell me...when was the last time China threatened another nation with invasion? Vietnam and India border clashes? Maybe Tibet or Mongolia?
