The U.S. has already started facing challenges to its superpower status from China...growing alliance between China and Russia has added further force to it,' professor Ashok Swain told Newsweek.
"To him, a closer strategic cooperation between China and Russia is increasingly necessary and important to check the destabilizing U.S. global influence and to help create a more just and less West-centric international order," Zhao told"The Russian and Chinese capabilities and strengths are mutually complementing," he added."Their cooperation will generate greater leverage in reshaping the international norms and order than the sum of their parts.
"China's own growth is still dependent on its continuous access to Western technologies and markets," he added."That gives Mr. Xi a strong incentive to stabilize China's overall relationship with the United States and avoid an explicit and full-blown alliance with Russia." "As two great powers, Russia and China may have differences of opinion," he added."Still, when they are challenged at the global level simultaneously, of course, it smooths out any possible frictions, including those related to the asymmetry of their economic potentials."
Brands, who authored the book"The Twilight Struggle" on great-power competition, acknowledged that"it will be quite difficult to run parallel containment projects vis-à-vis Moscow and Beijing." But he argued that"we really don't have a lot of choice, given their parallel challenges to our interests and the broader world order."
