AsiaNews: Joint Russian-Chinese Patrol Operations May Reach US Guam

17

Fearing the strengthening of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, Russia and China will agree to a strategic rapprochement and will conduct more military exercises, the area of ​​which will cover very large territories. So says the assistant professor of the Department of National Security and Strategic Studies at Curtin University in Perth (Australia) Alexei Muravyov, whose opinion is quoted by the resource AsiaNews.

Beijing and Moscow will expand military cooperation through maneuvers and joint air patrols in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Sea of ​​Japan and the East China Sea. To this end, the two countries have recently signed a corresponding agreement.



According to some analysts, the agreement turns relations between the two countries into a “de facto alliance”. This is a wonderful step for China, as Beijing has always tended to reject close alliances with any country.

In recent years, the PRC and the Russian Federation have strengthened all-round cooperation in order to resist pressure from the United States and its satellites. According to Muravyov, the strengthening of the partnership between China and Russia may become the main background for the formation of the geopolitical landscape of the Indo-Pacific region in the coming years. The expert believes that due to the coincidence of geostrategic and military interests, the Russians and the Chinese can become close allies.

However, Muravyov does not believe that the two countries will jointly patrol the disputed South China Sea with the Air Force and the Navy. At the moment, the activity of the Russian and Chinese military is limited to the western part of the Pacific Ocean. Nevertheless, the scientist does not exclude the possibility that these operations may advance to the American Guam, where the US strategic aviation is based, and, possibly, to the Indian Ocean.

If Beijing and Moscow decide to oppose the AUKUS pact (a military agreement between Washington, London and Canberra), the South China Sea will turn into a zone of geopolitical confrontation.

        Even Stalin, when the USSR did not yet have an atomic bomb, answered the Americans that in response to the atomic bombing, the USSR would put Chinese comrades on Soviet tanks, who would be on the Channel in a few days. The bombardment was hastily canceled.
        And 10-15 million of the Russian National Guard of the Chinese for the EU is an interesting idea. Even the Leninist Bolsheviks used such a resource.

          The Chinese guardsmen are ideologically grounded in a completely different way, and accordingly they will promote other values. It is possible that then the Russian capitalists will have to change their pants a couple of times. The USSR is the antipode of today's Russia, which for decades disowned itself from everything Soviet, from good and bad, with its hands and feet. The USSR was worthless to carry and put the Chinese on the tanks. The USSR, for a minute, at that time had the GSOVG - the largest operational-strategic formation of the armed forces in the world at that time. So they would have reached the English Channel faster than the Chinese reached Chita. Something like this.

            The USSR had a shortage of human resources after the war. It was necessary for someone to raise the national economy. But there were a lot of weapons (tanks), the economy was put on a war footing. That is why Stalin threatened the West with human potential from China. And the railway worked properly. They managed to transfer troops to the war with Japan.

              Well, why did they move the troops, it was enough to throw the Chinese equipment and all the business. Something you are dissembling. North Korea's Chinese have had enough. You should not portray a feeble filly from the Soviet Army in Eastern Europe.
              The national economy was raised, the country's borders were guarded and allies helped.

                First, China was still not the same, the CCP and Chiang Kai-shek were sharing power there. And to which of them to throw up the technique?
                And secondly, Stalin said it then for the ears of the West, and they believed it!
                And nevertheless, Mao supplied the USSR with a lot of strategic goods.

                From the USSR, the Chinese communists received trucks, railway equipment, gasoline and other means that provided the entire rear of the army of Chairman Mao. In response, Mao's communists supplied the USSR with food collected from 400 million Chinese peasants and scarce raw materials, for example, tungsten, the most refractory metal on our planet, which military production cannot do without and which in those years was mined only in China.

                  So it is necessary to decide whether the USSR was in ruins, or still "From the USSR, the Chinese communists were getting trucks, railway equipment, gasoline and other means that provided the entire rear of the army."
                  "Ears of the West" in those days could see without binoculars that "if something" that is, after a meeting on the Elbe, it was easy to get to see off to the English Channel.
                  The USSR itself was an authoritative and strong power and it had nothing to hide behind, like today's Russia, with China.
                  It should be noted that the Chinese goods of those times were of excellent quality.

          Better walk around Europe with rainbow flags, please gays and don't pry your nose into your own business.

          - Obviously, gays will have to please no one "tagil (sergey)" - most likely - this is his native hypostasis (just as soon as he "started up" - you see - more than once a "victim" ... - Hahah) - he and please "his". .. - But in general - there is a sufficient "community of like-minded people" - for sure there are many "latent" ones, with "inclinations" ... - and why should I suddenly have to go and why should I cross the road for you ??? - You'd better go your own "familiar way" ...

            Unlike you, I do not meddle in those matters in which I am poorly versed, but here, unlike you, I understand much more. Judging by your previous comments, you understand any topic no worse than the experts, and even advise someone there. What are you all-round words about gays, you know that I have never heard such people, probably in the wrong circles, unlike people like you. And don't worry, don't cross my path, I'm far from gays and lesbians who teach the whole country of life. Some of them become ministers and admirals with generals in your blessed "democratic" west (only this does not shine for you in Russia, thank God). Recently, they have been teaching the whole world not only in comments about politics, tolerance, military affairs, economics, diplomacy, and in everything they do not understand with their meager mind. But experts are in every "hole", from any side, from the front, that from the back. So to you to yours, to yours, they understand and support you better than people with a traditional orientation.

              - Well, weak, dubious, contradictory, confused and shy ... and so all ambivalent ... - Well, if it’s definitely not gay, then at least thank God ...
              - Well, they decided to tell me something ... - "How hard it is for the poor thing to live in the world ..." - there is such a sad song "Will go to Tikhoretskaya train ..." ...
              - Well, yes - it's hard, Mr. "plasticine" ... - you just don't stick to the sofa very much - otherwise you won't be able to come off ... -Hahah ...
              - Okay - I’m not out of malice ... - live as you want ... - but I have to go to one event already - my MCH is already completely nervous ...
              - Well, you shouldn't be nervous ...

        - Where is Russia climbing ... - Where is Russia climbing ???

        I think Russia knows where it is going. Well, if you consider yourself a tough analyst, political strategist, economist and God knows who else, then you have a straight road up. Only there you will be able to realize your extraordinary potential and finally bring Russia out of that dark tunnel in which we are now wandering, not seeing the light ... Here, you just don’t need to groan “boss, everything is gone, everything is gone !!! " There will be no benefit from this :)))

          - We must, we must moan - moan and cry and ... and sprinkle ashes on my head !!! - What else can you do ???
          - And the war will start - we will simply lie down - that's all ... - We'll fight against China - they prepared us and many for this ... - That's all ... - so at least it won't be ashamed - to lie for it ... - At least not you will see how the Chinese will be in full control of our Russian land !!!
          - Well, so China will perish with us ... - At least we will rid the whole world of this worldwide Chinese evil !!! - Though it will not be offensive !!!
          - Damn - such degradation and such humiliation of Russia - who could have believed in such a thing before !!! - Our grandfathers and grandmothers (and great-grandfathers) are simply horrified by what is happening in our country today ... - they are simply afraid to take to the streets ... - they were so intimidated that they are afraid to open their mouths ... - They are not leave the house ... - in the morning they will sneak into the store ... - and quickly go home ... - And our smug guarantor is going to reign for life ... - to reign and please all those who would not have dared to open their mouths against Russia before. ..
          - Damn, if the Apocalypse comes on Earth - then most likely - it will start in Russia - against the Russians ... - Most likely - this Apocalypse has already entered the initial stage - in Russia too ...

      - Secretary General Mao, having learned about the colossal irretrievable losses of the Russian population during the Second World War (especially among the male population) - suggested to Stalin to send tens of millions of Chinese to Russia (USSR) to create families with Russian women ... - Stalin flatly refused with disgust .. - Then there were no "Russian presidents" or all kinds of "tolerant leaders" who "think in one day" ...

        - No ... - well, then they are "latent"; then they are obsessed (fate did not deign to "send" them the "rank of ensign" - and it can be seen - "as I wanted"); then the "fans" of American glue showed up and showed up ... and - and who else will suddenly appear ???
