    I disagree with your last word.
    There are some issues that two parties fundamentally cannot resolve. But there is no real need to resolve them.
    China doesn't comment on Russian border chomping, Russia doesn't comment on Chinese separatists.
    Neither side forces the issue. Neither wants to have a confrontation on the issue and neither needs to have a resolution on the issue.
    It is a fairly "Western minded" idea that issues must be resolved, and kinks in value differences must be called out and ironed out... even if it is in neither party's interest to do so.

    • @1Invinc
      @1Invinc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +84

      One issue with this method of Western analysis is that the west views power dynamics in terms of winners and losers. It is a short sighted method of viewing power dynamics that benefits administrations with limited terms rather than the continuing state of their nations.
      China and Russia view power dynamics for what it is, and focuses on just staying in the game. The status quo between the two is palatable to both, so there is no reason to engage each other in No-Win scenarios.

      As long as the state of their relationship is better than how they would have it if they were going at it against each other by far, they can leave uncomfortable issues unresolved, and they can spin certain ones into shows of "friendship"; declining to comment is a fairly common diplomatic move in these types of scenarios. Sign agreements, participate in each other's events, trade, etc., all while kicking uncomfortable issues down the road for when the relationship eventually sours and it makes sense to do something about it.

      Russia actually has pretty good or at least decent relations with all East Asian countries. Most likely Russia will cooperate with China against USA, but not against other East Asian countries. Russia tends to be rather neutral in Chinese - [Asian country] conflicts and disputes unless it threatens Russian interests or security (mostly when USA gets involved).

    The relationship between 2 countries cannot be simply maps to the relationship between 2 persons. China and Russia both has their own interests based on their own situation. This is a general situation for any countries. For China, it is more focusing on its own way to become a developed country in next 50 years. With a 1.4 billion population, the growth of its economy would quickly make China to be one of the superpowers in this world. However, I don't think China has more interesting other than economics in the traditional territories of Russian's area. E.g. those mid-Asian countries or Mongolia . Chinese foreign policy is clearly non-interventionism. The Belt and Road Initiative is more focused on economics rather than politics. Please be aware China solved all border issue with all the ex-cccp countries back to 1990s.
    For the question, are China and Russia allies? The answer is NO. But they are friends now. Even though they still have different interests like all the other countries, but there is no serious fundamental problems between these 2 countries. You would not easily expect they become enemies even if one day there is no more pressures from USA and its allies.

    Ngl it's refreshing to see actually well put together and informative videos in this format as I find most of these semi-humorous channels about politics or history or whatever either ignorant or too simplistic, but this was actually very good. For example, China's paranoia about territorial integrity and the particularly Russian expansionist geopolitical strategy (in the west) is not something I had thought of as affecting relations between them, even though it seems so obvious now that you have pointed it out! I would not be surprised if this video ended up picked up by some lecturer for an intro to international politics class or something.

There is a period called hundred year shame in China which Chinese Qing dynasty signed a lot of unequal treaties, and massive territory. During that time, Chinese people live like pigs. Thus, Chinese people hate any territory robbers even that country is their allies. And Chinese people also desired to get back all those lost territory which hurt the relationship with surrounding countries.

    As a Chinese, I would say the part about China is basically unbiased, which is RARE in TH-cam. Communism saved both China and Russia from the war. But there’s something more important than ideology, which is national interests. A little more on why China and Russia’s relationship became bad around 1950. Stalin and his predecessors betrayed the real communism, which hopes all the workers around the world to unite together, regardless of ethnicity or country. But Soviet Union treats other communist countries as colonies instead of equal partners. China won’t be a toy controlled by Russia, China wants to have an independent way to develop which Russia doesn’t allow. So when Russia threatened to pull back all the experts who are helping China build its own industry, including nuclear power industry, China still didn’t bow to Russia.

    I would like to point out some errors in your video.
    1. Soviet Union's fall is caused directly by the operation of the USA and its allies. The collapse destroyed their economy and every way of life, making them suffering poverty until this day. This, you haven't mentioned in your video, you could talk more about how the USA destroyed SU during the cold war. George F. Kennan, you should talk about him, the classic diplomat during the cold war.
    2. China is not taking advantage of Russia in trade. Instead, China is helping Russia while the western counties are putting sanctions on Russia. China didn't ask for a discount, Russia gave China an offer and China took it, that's it. You should talk more about why this happened and when this happens. China increased importing of energy resources from Russia since the trade war during the Trump administration, meaning China doesn't want Shale oil from the USA anymore.
    3. Goods made in China at a more affordable price. Why this can be made as a point of taking advantage in Russia? Russians need the goods and so China gives them affordable goods, which is a bilateral trade. Russia has abundant natural resources, China can make affordable and quality goods which can improve Russian's living quality. This is a win-win trade, only America and the EU keep whining about it.
    4. China is definitely not taking advantage of Russia whatsoever. China, Russia expects a boost in bilateral trade volume in 2021 www.globaltimes.cn/page/202012/1211319.shtml
    By the end of 2020, China imports from Russia is 57.181 billion USD while the export is 50.585 billion USD. Both countries create a total trade of 107.765 billion USD during a pandemic year. China is also helping not only Russia but also other countries with vaccines and medical supplies. However, Western media had already begun politicizing vaccines and some of the western countries are hoarding more than enough vaccines leaving many developing countries in despair. Some stupid politicians are still accusing China of covid even the science has already proved that the virus didn't start in China. Both America and the EU have earlier records. It's hilarious that blaming is the first thing to do during a pandemic, instead of actually controlling the pandemic first.
    5. China didn't steal military technology from Russia, nor America. Why can't the west simply admit that the Chinese are just as smart as them? Haven't you seen enough face-slapping reality today?
    6. 8:47 the picture is just insulting for Chinese people. (but, anyway, its on the western media platform, and that's the political correctness for you guys today) Stating independence in Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia is an act of infringing China's Territorial sovereignty. People who live in these three regions are Chinese. Inner Mongolia is a part of Qian Qing(350-394) during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420) Xinjiang becomes part of China (was called Xi'Han) in 206 BC. Tibet became part of China (known as the Yuan dynasty) during 960 - 1368.
    --------something else to add-----
    1. I guess western content makers will never comprehend this unless you are someone in the field of archeology. But, most of the Chinese know these things.
    2. China is more of a civilization... The term country is just not enough to define her.
    3. The discovery of "Hongshan culture" in 2014, dates back the Chinese history even further, which is 8000- 5000 years ago. So... yeah.
    ----------------------------------------------
    If you take the entire human history as a game of chess, you can see that China is always sitting at the table, watching other civilizations come and go.

      Vietnam betrayed China by invading Cambodia - a Chinese ally and reneging on their recognition of Chinese sovereignty over several islands after South Vietnam was defeated and Vietnam reunified. This is especially when you consider how much material aid and support China provided to Vietnam in their fight against the Americans and how China even gifted the Gulf of Tonkin to Vietnam as a gesture of communist solidarity.

    There's no mass migration of Chinese into far east. There are Chinese companies, but no Chinese migrants in how this video tries to portray it. Biggest migrant flow in Russia is one of Russians from other post soviet states - mainly Ukraine, and for a period the Russians in Central Asia stans, and then the central asians from the stans who come as temporary workers.
    The worry with Chinese is instead the raw materials being exported, chiefly that EVERYTHING will be exported leaving nothing for Russia, and it will be exported for cheap and under shoddy circumstances because local oligarchs want to quick cash to pocket in the deals, ruining the local economies for actual Russians in Russia and the environmental mass damage. This is especially infuriating for Russians because they know that they can develop their own national industries, as they still have some (although some are very bare bones) and have had during the Soviet period, it's just the quicker, easier, and more harmful option is being taken of mass raw materials export for oligarch profit.
    As for China disliking Russia's territorial disputes or hard power antics, eh, I'd argue Russia taking a large slice of attention and heat off of China by dancing the dangerous game with the West is actually a great relief. The West's focus on Russia since 2013 first with the gay propaganda ban law, Sochi olympics, then Ukraine, and then Syria, and the hoax of "Russiagate" has allowed China and especially Xi to really capitalise on the South China Sea acquisition, and their other soft power operations, mainly in the industries in Australia and Canada, their investments in EU, and their familiarity with American Wall Street and media conglomerates, all of which mainly proceeded under the radar which is why it has been a rude awakening for many just how much influence China now wields. Thanks to all this, China was in a much better position to begin fighting the "cold war" with US in 2018 than they would have been in 2013 if all eyes were on China, instead of Russia. Essentially, Russia showed its use very well in "taking the fall" with the relationship and attention of the West, and not only that.
    Russia as the big power has also been assigned the narrative of boogeyman and "pariah" role in the West, meaning China has more benefit of the doubt and by that token diplomatic leeway given to it as a much more "neutral" type of competitor, rather than outright villain/nemesis as Russia has been assigned - media and political narratives would be hard pressed to rewire China as the ultimate evil after nearly a decade of portraying Russia as such, and it's not just that Russia was first, of course there's a lot of convenient historical foundations to go on the tirade against Russia, but it's also that China is much more economically relevant in the West.
    One other point, there may be a big shift in policy between the US and EU in regard to China and Russia. China recently finished the trade agreement with the EU which only awaits to be ratified, signalling closer economic ties between the two blocs, but the EU and chiefly Germany are also now wary of the US led sanctions against Russia, and the geopolitical game US ignited in Europe that time, especially with Ukraine. Nordstream 2 is a good example of pragmatism overcoming the ideological fight led by the US in EU, Russia has always shown itself to be a reliant business partner in raw material exports, and if Germany wants to maintain its powerhouse position and grow the economic union they've built up, they will need to tap into Russia's reserves as they are the most economically sensible option. The warming of relations may also come as the Arctic trade routes becomes more of a reality, the quickest route from the South East Asian market to the EU, and of course Russia is the choke point of this trade route (they've also been the heaviest investors economically and militarily in the arctic for some time).
    Either way, the warmer relations and revitalized trade with EU members help Russia gain more leverage in its relationship with China, so the coming decades seem to be a win for it.
    It's going to be increasingly difficult for the US to maintain hegemony over the West and near abroad as the world's arteries move further away from its reach (arctic trade routes - with which even Canada is not fully bending to US pressure of free movement) and that its former linchpin military and economic reliant partners in Europe (NATO/EU) are becoming more outdated/independent respectfully. This doesn't even touch upon the rapidly changing demographics in the US and how that will affect the new demographic contention towards certain foreign policy. If anything I'd bet on US becoming much more focused and active on Latin America.

Besides, Resource / goods currency makes both Russia&China healthy economy (China has more cheap labor,Russia has massive resource). Remember , USA is sactioning both Russia&China and hoping China/Russia ally breaking so Americans can deal one by one.
