A China Daily expert believes the US is in for an “absolute nightmare” if Russia and China join forces in a “desperate battle with the enemy”
The Global Times analyst notes that the new U.S. administration led by President Joe Biden is not only trying to turn American society against China but also the West. The White House is also contributing to growing pockets of confrontation in the world.
“The US hopes to create a fundamental opposition to world trends with which it can forcibly organize a world order dominated by Western countries, excluding China and Russia”, – the expert said.
However, the Chinese advise Washington “not to play with fire strategically”, as today the power of Russia and China is far greater than that of the once military bloc of the USSR and Eastern European countries.
“Strategic unity between China and Russia will primarily be directed against American hegemony. Other forces should not get carried away and think that the US is always behind them”, – the analyst stressed.
The author of the Global Times piece calls for the relationship between Beijing and Washington to be balanced as much as possible and for a reduced confrontation with Russia.
