Top envoy dismisses talk of US-Russia alliance against China as ‘cold war mindset’
China's ambassador to Russia, Zhang Hanhui, dismissed the possibility of a US-Russia alliance against Beijing under a potential Trump administration, labeling such notions as a reflection of a "cold war mindset." He emphasized the strength and long-term strategic nature of the Sino-Russian partnership.
Zhang stated that Moscow's relationships with Washington and Beijing are independent of each other. He highlighted the deep mutual trust, established exchange mechanisms, and shared interests between China and Russia, underscoring that their relationship is not based on short-term goals. This comes amidst speculation that a returning Trump administration might seek to improve US-Russia relations, potentially at the expense of the China-Russia partnership, similar to Nixon's approach to the Soviet Union in the 1970s.
