The Beijing-Moscow Axis: Security Challenges for Europe and the Indo-Pacific | Dr Jakub Jakóbowski

The relationship between Russia and China has been described as a de facto informal alliance. Although not devoid of internal tensions and limitations, the Beijing-Moscow axis withstood the major stress-test coming from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
China is providing Russia with sufficient strategic depth and industrial capacity to continue war in Europe. This reality is rapidly changing the EU's relationship with China and stimulating strategic interactions between Europe and the Indo-Pacific.
In his speech, Dr Jakub Jakóbowski will explore the fundamentals of the China-Russia relationship, its current dynamics, as well as the challenges it poses for the European and Indo-Pacific security: propaganda and disinformation efforts, cooperation in international bodies, economic coercion, as well as possible dual escalation scenarios.

A US Empire (NATO) perspective that clearly focussed on conflict while ignoring the central role of the US in generating the conflict. While talking about Russia/ China relations the speaker spoke as if it's an alliance of convenience. Not sure that he read the Feb 4 2022 communique that he referred to. He didn't mention BRICS or SCO and the development of a multi polar world, which is the aim of Russia and China. The conflict is the US fighting against this future in order to maintain its hegemony.
It does seem from the talk that the West lives in a delusional bubble, which may be a positive as the rest of the world moves on leaving the West behind.

They know everything, but still they need to propaganda their ways and try to persuade their lapdogs believe that western countries still control the world.

What is the Indo-Pacific to do with EU? The Ukrainian war is in the EU, not in the Indo-Pacific! Solve your problem there.
