Yesterday China's defence minister took a message directly from Xi Jinping to Moscow. The message had two points.
1) China is no longer interested in cooperation with the USA, it is now the time for confrontation.
2) Russia can expect full support from China in future clashes with the west, extending as far as financial and military support. Including the deployment of Chinese forces to support the Russian Army.
So this is how the next great war between the Imperial forces will begin. It is like the run up to WW1 all over again.
