That's the bottom line for China.
Just like other western nations, they would not even come closer to China especially China is making the white man hegemony precarious like never seeing before.
However, now they suddenly jump off the board from the US because they feel a completely unhinged leader like Trump gonna act something very suicidal that could potentially bring them down altogether.
And Russia right now is too powerless to make any change to the world except their cold war nuclear stockpile.
If Russia got 50% of China's power, all European nations would have already run to Moscow, not to Beijing.
Because for them, Russia is still their fellow white christians who can be trusted.
Therefore, I don't buy the baloney like 'the US and Europe don't treat Russia as their fellow white christians'.
They all recognize Russians as their fellow white men, but the real problem of the white men civil is because who can become the true leader for the white world?
The Russians believe that they are the most superior white people with most blonde and blue eyes, and they should become the leader of the white world, and other fellow white brothers should follow their leader.
However, the WASP is the current leader of the western world, no way they can abdicate their throne to the Russians. In the eyes, the Russians are assimilable white people, and should learn English and become part of their gene pool, but not condescending over them with the Russian culture and language.
But of course, sometimes the brotherly war can also turn into fatal consequence.
Both Russia and Ukraine end up with near WW2 level of casualties, and many MAGA are pissed off of seeing white men dying like that, and they want to see this happening in East Asia, not in the white Europe.
