Russia and China share a similar style of leadership, the strong man so no surprise they flock together. Despite China dwarfing Russia in terms of wealth and ambitions, when was Russia close to the US? Never.
China is determined to do a wholesale replacement of the US led post WWII economic order so such institutions as IMF, WTO, World Bank may not survive. I can't see NATO surviving either in the face of German disinterest. This is a shared interest of Russia as well.
As these Chinese driven changes percolate around the world, I see the Western members of the EU as wild cards in the alignment. I see them adopting a neutral stance with both blocs wooing the EU. Notice today China encouraging the EU to join China and Russia in opposing Trump?
Three axis of power are shaping up with the USA and a few of its existing allies such as Japan, Canada, Australia, Israel; China, Russia, DPRK, Iran, Turkey; German led EU.
No. I do not see China encouraging EU to join Russia. Evidence please?
