"Third World Country": Americans ridiculed the RF-PRC friendship agreement
ABC News website visitors commented news on the extension of the Treaty on Good Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation between the Russian Federation and the PRC for the next 5 years.
The news notes that Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping have established close personal ties in order to strengthen the "strategic partnership" between the two once hostile powers in light of the general deterioration in relations with the West.
And while both reject the idea of a military alliance, Putin said last fall that such a prospect cannot be completely ruled out.

In fact, all this is funny, because they hate each other with such hatred, which is difficult even to imagine. […] At the moment when one person has an advantage over another, this “agreement” will disappear, and all “ties” will be severed. The West knows that if such a moment ever comes, then China will not help Russia - and, accordingly, vice versa. I do not see anything worthy of attention in this diplomatic representation.

In fact, China and Russia fought a veritable border war decades ago. The border did not move, but there was enough hostility to cause frequent gunfights

Germany and Russia signed a treaty during the Second World War, and we all know how it ended. They were sworn enemies both before and after

Both countries are striving for world domination, each in its own way. Russia focuses on military power, while China focuses on economic superiority. But they are our adversaries

They have been friends since 2001, but [the contract] was extended only for 5 years. Seems like there is no certainty

It's not about Russia - it just doesn't bother you. However, China is about to take all ours, and we are too fragmented to do anything about it.

The two most powerful communist powers are expected to form an alliance. [...] Both want to intimidate America

China will soon discover that Russia is a burden. China is a modern blend of totalitarian control and capitalism. Russia is an old-fashioned communist state masquerading as democracy [...]

I don't think China sees Russia as a promising market. They [the Chinese] only need Russian lands in the Far East, and lately they have been making great strides in their colonization. This allows access to the vast resources of Siberia, which are located too far from the bulk of the Russian population and industry for them to use them effectively, but at the same time close enough to China. Of course, he will leave behind a scorched desert, but who cares? Putin, for his part, gets a pat on the back, a photo shoot and the opportunity to look like a "world leader." Everyone is happy

Fascist-communist union. They share a common hatred of the United States.

Yes, just stop moving production to China. It would now be as much a third world country as Russia if the United States and most of the world did not produce their junk there. All Western companies must leave China, watching the unrest as tens of millions of Chinese people and their children were left without a livelihood [...]
