ever since russia strengthened its strategic cooperation with china, the united states and europe have often speculated that it is only a matter of time before china and russia establish a so-called "military alliance."

russian foreign minister lavrov once again talked about this topic in an interview. he admitted that people often ask when russia will ally with china, but china and russia do not need a "nato-style" military alliance. the two countries now regularly carry out military cooperation at various levels and do not need the form of an alliance.

[lavrov talks about why china and russia are not interested in a "military alliance"]

we have said before that in terms of international relations, military alliances between countries are bound to involve partial surrender of sovereignty. nato’s military framework also follows this rule, with the united states taking the lead. after the end of the cold war, the core position of the united states was further strengthened. today, the security policies of european countries are often based on nato’s interests.

the interests of nato are essentially the interests of the united states. in addition to the framework of "greater nato", the united states also has a "small nato" in the asia-pacific region. although the west tries to distinguish the us military alliance system in the asia-pacific from the nato system, since both are centered on the united states and serve the strategic interests of the united states, there is no difference between the two.
