“There is no grand conspiracy against the West. What this is, is a classic great power relationship, meaning it's driven by common interests, rather than shared values. By supporting each other, China and Russia gain critical dividends including reinforcing the legitimacy and stability of their respective regimes. Defence cooperation allows Moscow to project Russian influence on the world stage while Beijing is able to gain access to Russia's advanced military technology and operational experience. The relationship also allows Moscow to fill the technological gap left by the withdrawal of Western companies in Russia following sanctions imposed in the aftermath of the annexation of Crimea. And Chinese investment in technology has been absolutely critical to the realization of Russia's Arctic LNG projects.”

“It's the strongest, closest and best relationship that the two countries have had since at least the mid-1950s. And possibly ever. The current state of affairs is exceptional. Ties have developed very rapidly, really within the past 10 years, accelerating in the wake of Western sanctions on Russia over its annexation of Crimea in 2014. Both countries are ruled by anti-democratic regimes that share a strong common interest in resisting the influence of liberal Western values within their own countries. They also have a strong shared interest in undermining the states and alliances, beyond their own borders, that embody liberal values. So, their main common interest is in effect, an ideological one - they seek to undermine the democratic and liberal West.”
