Russia and China (officially) IN TALKS OF ESTABLISHING A MILITARY ALLIANCE!

The ministry made the comments when responding to a question concerning the claim by certain scholars that faced with military threat from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Russia may seek to establish military alliance with China.

The China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era is a model of new international relations featuring mutual respect, equity and justice as well as win-win cooperation, said the ministry.

Completely different from the military alliances between some other countries, China and Russia uphold a principle of non-alliance and non-confrontation that targets no third party, it noted.

This year the two countries will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the signing of the China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation, and China is willing to conduct in-depth cooperation with Russia in fields such as high-level exchanges, strategic coordination, joint drills and training, equipment and technology to build a comprehensive military relationship in the new era, it added.
