Better Sino-Russian relations also good for the world

Looking through the prism of geographical politics, some Western media have interpreted the further development of the relations between China and Russia as forging a united front in a broader confrontation with the United States. Some even suggest they may forge an alliance against the US.

What they have forgotten is that the world is no longer what it was. In this globalized world, it does no country any good to seek geopolitical advantages by forging alliances with some countries against other countries.

The fact that bilateral ties have been elevated to a comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era featuring the highest degree of mutual trust and the highest level of strategic coordination simply indicates President Xi Jinping's visit and meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin last week have consolidated a new high in Sino-Russian relations.
