> Russian President Vladimir Putin has said recently that his meeting with
> Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this week in Shanghai marked a new stage
> in Russia-China relations, and that the two countries will roll out
> all-around cooperation. China and Russia signed a $400 billion (237.1 billion
> pounds) gas supply deal on Wednesday, securing the world’s top energy user a
> major source of cleaner fuel and opening up a new market for Moscow as it
> risks losing European customers over the Ukraine crisis. Furthermore, the two
> countries began joint military exercises in the East China Sea in a clear
> show of strength against Japan, a western ally.
>
> The Chinese President has also openly demonstrated his desire to create a
> counter-alliance to the U.S. Speaking on May 20 President Xi Jinping called
> for the creation of a new Asian structure for security cooperation based on a
> regional group that includes Russia and Iran and excludes the United States.
> Clearly pointing a finger at the United States he called NATO an outdated
> thinking of the Cold War. According to him, “We cannot just have security for
> one or a few countries while leaving the rest insecure”. In his speech Mr. Xi
> Jinping offered an alternative vision for the region based on an
> all-inclusive regional security framework rather than individual alliances
> with external actors like the United States. China’s proposal to push forward
> with the ambitious Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific met an especially
> chilly reception from the U.S., which is focused on a 12-country trade
> agreement known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which excludes China.
>
> The move has clearly unsettled the Western establishment. Former U.S. Defense
> Secretary Robert Gates said that China and Russia are becoming more
> aggressive as they perceive the U.S. pulling back from world affairs. In
> other words, Russia and China are standing up to the American hegemony and
> pushing back against the U.S. aggression that the world had witnessed over
> the last few decades.
>
> This China-Russia alliance should be welcomed as a counter bloc to the
> failing and desperate Western dominance concentrated in Washington. Ever
> since the break-up of the Soviet Union, America has imposed its economic
> model that favours corporations and the financial elite, while squeezing the
> ordinary people. Any country that refused to bow down to American pressure
> was attacked militarily under false pretexts of “civil protection” and
> “national security concerns”. Unfortunately regional powers such as Russia
> and China were unable to prevent America from imposing its self-destructive
> neo-liberal order on other countries. However, recently China and especially
> Russia have started to fight back. Russia has averted another disastrous
> intervention in Syria and has fought back against the Western-backed coup in
> Ukraine.
>
> Now, with China and Russia closely aligned, the two countries will be able to
> prevent the U.S. and its Western puppets from further carrying out its
> economic imperialist agenda. With the European Union crumbling under the
> weight of Euro-sceptic opinion of the general public, as illustrated by the
> European election results tonight, the U.S. is losing its closest ally. The
> EU will have to make a choice whether to continue to be a puppet of
> Washington, thus risking the wrath of its European citizens and eventually
> reaching complete self-destruction, or choosing to build closer ties with
> China and Russia.
>
> The new alliance will stop the expansion of American and European military as
> well as economic global influences. This will be a welcome step, as Western
> dominance over the last few decades has only achieved more insecurity and an
> economic system that benefits a few, but punishes the many.
>
> Western nations, and its masters in Washington, ought to reconsider their
> tough stance on Russia. In the near future it will be the new alliance that
> will be making the new rules of the game, therefore, the West ought to treat
> China and Russia with respect and lose the arrogant attitude that has
> dominated the Western world for so many years.
