MOSCOW, October 1 (Itar-Tass) - Russian President Vladimir Putin sent Chinese President Hu Jintao a message of congratulations on the occasion of the Chinese national holiday – the 57th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China, the presidential press service reported on Sunday.

The message of the Russian head of state says, inter alia, as follows:

“The real breakthrough in key economic sectors and impressive successes in the social and humanitarian spheres, achieved by Chinese people over these years, evoke sincere respect. The rise in international prestige and influence of the People’s Republic of China and its contribution to strengthening peace and stability in the world are directly linked with these achievements.

“It is important that relations between our countries are confidently developing in the spirit of strategic partnership and allied relations in the new 21st century. This helps to raise the level of foreign policy cooperation, to ensure security in the region, to promote the development of the huge economic, scientific, technical and cultural potential of Russia and China and, what’s the main thing – brings practical benefit to millions of ordinary Russians and Chinese.

“Measures, being carried out within Year of Russia in China, are aimed at developing further diverse relations between our countries. They have brought our peoples closer together and consolidated centuries-long traditions of mutual sympathy, friendship and cooperation. We intend to do our utmost so that coming Year of China in Russia would be as bright and as successful.”

Chinese, Russian militaries to hold joint exercises in 2007 - China and Russia will hold joint war games next year, one of eight planned cooperative military exercises.

Russia hands over state-of-the-art warship to China - 09/29/2006 - The warship was the fourth Project 956E 'Sovremenny' (Modern) class destroyer built at the Northern Shipyard in Russia's second city St. Petersburg and sold to China under a 2002 deal through Russia's state arms trader Rosoboronexport. In the late 1990s China bought two such ships under a separate contract. "Rosoboronexport is interested in further sales to China, and we are not talking only about ships," the defense industry source said.

"Hitler and Stalins treaty helps to ensure security in region"

.... History repeats itself.

The US is the only possible target they could be aiming at since they are supplying our Hezzbola and Al Quadia friends.
Will Bush finally stand up and inform his employers about
the danger posed by the alliance of these dirtbags?

Serves both of them right. It is a match made in heaven: two asiatic despotisms richly deserving one another.

I think that they are closer than Hitler and Stalin ever were. Hitler and Stalin never did wargames with each other and quabbeled over Poland.

I think it would be more appropiate that the Russian bear had a Soviet Hammer and Sickle flag on him.
