I do not think issue is Russia China friendship against western influence. Issue is business including national security. China needs Russian gas desperately and Russia needs money to build military muscle.China has huge money and Russia is more advance than China in military power. On top of Russia is not the enemy of Western and Eastern Europe. Most of the European countries are fully dependent on Russian gas. BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) is not against IMF or WB rather competitor. Soon European countries are going to join. I think we are still behind in thinking while world players are changing their thinking very fast.
