China-Russia relations the most important strategic asset that cannot be damaged - superadmin - 03-19-2022 China-Russia relations the most important strategic asset that cannot be damaged by US provocation The close relationship between China and Russia has been a thorn in the US' side, especially against the backdrop of the ongoing Ukraine crisis. With the simmering of the situation, it couldn't be any clearer that Washington is eager to exploit the Russia-Ukraine conflict to drive a wedge between Beijing and Moscow.  For one thing, senior White House officials have on multiple occasions accused China of not exerting enough pressure on Russia to stop the country's military action in Ukraine. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday before US President Joe Biden's virtual meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping that Washington will "impose costs" for any support Beijing provides to Russia's actions against Ukraine. He urged Beijing to assume "responsibility to use its influence and defend the international rules and principles that it professes to support." For another, an increasing number of Western media reports and analyses have emerged to hype how China's ties with Russia have made China "uncomfortable" and "awkward" and warn that Beijing risks isolation if it doesn't distance itself from Moscow. - More -
