Will China and Russia Ever Form a Military Alliance, Similar to NATO?

Donk

It is my understanding that Russia wants to form a military alliance with China, but China's government believes that China should never be required to go to war for non-Chinese people, so they refuse to form a military alliance with Russia or anyone else.  This was why China refused to help Russia in Syria.

Correct. Russia needs allies such as China to form a military alliance against NATO but China isn't interested in getting dragged into wars which does not serve its national security.

"Will China form alliance with Russia"


C'mon! Russia is helping India upgrade its BrahMos with an aim of increasing its range to compete with other worldly counteroarts; negotiating with New Dehli for Rafale and J-20 counterparts with a demand by New Dehli for direct technology transferred of the aircraft, not to mention the leasing of the Admiral Gorshkov and, of course, Akuka Class SSN's fitted for Brahmoses and other missiles with an offer to New Delhi Russia's Backjack and their S-400 air defense system. Now that "IS NOT" an "ALLY" in the making if you ask me...  

As I always say: Russians are a peope symbolized by a two headed snake (or was it a balkin eagle)? Seriously, even with all of the bigotry tgriwn at us by the Americans, I'm more inclined to believe that we'll one day find that we will be aligned (common goals and interests) with the US again more than we will, ever, with Russia. But, before that hapoens, i said if once and i'll say again:

China and the US will come to an arm wrestle with one another before anything of tge above will happen...

I think Deng's "no matter if you are a white cat or a black one" is what we are seeing today, not just in Chinese poltics and strategical interests, but in interests throughout the world today. In other words, the word comradely and brothers in arm is long dead.

If the US treated China better (removed its forces from Korea; urged Taiwan to rejoin China), China would have no interest in any anti NATO alliance. That's my opinion as a very pro-American Canadian.

With Russia cooperating and selling in the lilitary domain to India, Vietnam, and with russian weapon using some parts made in west, it sounds funny
