China’s strong objection to Russia’s detainment of its citizens on the Kazakh border should lead to honest influencers in the Alt-Media Community recalibrating their analyses if they sincerely aspire to accurately reflect the reality of their ties as it objectively exists, not as they wish it was. This incident should hopefully serve as an opportunity for correcting perceptions about them in order to stop misleading others. Russia and China remain close, but sensitive differences exist that can’t be denied.
"No nation has friends, only interests."--Charles DeGaulle
When the cranky French nationalist and imperialist is right, he's right. Russia and China have been driven by the policies of the US Empire into an entente, as you accurately describe it, out of mutual self-interest and self-defense. Had it not been for those policies, Russia would have been strengthening ties with Europe, particularly Germany, not China. The Nordstream pipeline alone is proof enough of that, which is exactly why the US destroyed it.
As the first NATO Secretary-General, Pug Ismay, said, "The mission of NATO is to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down."
As far as the imperial managers in Washington are concerned, nothing has changed.
