Communist dictatorships China and Russia are “friends forever, never enemies,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi declared Tuesday during a visit to Moscow.

“The principle of ‘friends forever, never enemies’ … serves as a solid legal basis for advancing strategic cooperation at a higher level,” Wang told Russia’s RIA state news agency in an interview as reported by Reuters.

US had better straighten out Panama Canal, get preparations ready to expand bases and occupy Greenland, increase presence in Pacific sea lanes and uncouple trade with China.
CCP and their army have fed off US consumer too long.
It really looks like a fortress America strategy is needed now.

"Communist dictatorships China and Russia are “friends forever, never enemies,”

Which is why they nearly came to blows with a nuclear exchange in 1969. Because that's what life-long friends do.

Doesn’t China’s “Most favored Nation” status already qualify with the USA? What’s that worth?

We all know that Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan make up the new Soviet Union, along with the annexed parts of Ukraine and a few lesser ‘stans

“Hitler and Stalin said that in 1939.”

Exactly.

China/Commies/Xi are the Deutch/Hitler/Nazis in this chapter....should America ever be nutted, China will turn on Russia in a Peking minute.

For now, like the Norks, Putin is a threat in being that costs China nothing but degrades US ability to bring all our resources to bear on them. Russia is a threat to our rear in a Pacific War.

But, most of Russia east of the Urals can be claimed by the Middle Kingdom on historical grounds......especially Russian maritime areas like Vladivostok. There are few Russians in their east, but lots of resources.

Putin is desperate now....he is not stupid and realizes he has a wolf by the ears...played properly, Trump could peel Russia away from China by offering “protection from both the Euro Trash and the ChiComms.

Now that would be statesmanship.

Yeah, that’s what went through my mind as well. Putin giving China the side eye.

That’s what Von Ribbentrop said to Molotov in 1939.

Hitler watching newsreel footage of Stalin prior to WW2 supposedly said “Now that’s a guy I can work with”. That really didn’t work out so well.

It's kind of pathetic how many people here don't have the foggiest idea what a "communist" is. They just think it means "bad man" and throw it around incoherently.

Putin and modern Russia are no more communist than the US (arguably the deep state is closer to communism than oligarchic Russia, which at least cares somewhat for ordinary Russians in a way that is entirely lacking in America's oligarchy.) It's time to get out of the 1980s for crying out loud.

That said, the statement in the OP is diplomatic nicespeak gibberish. Russia and China have fought many wars and skirmishes over the years along their frontier. For the time being China is happy to sell manufactured goods to Russia in exchange for commodities, but there is no inherent reason to imagine that is a permanent state of affairs.
