At a time when the American and Chinese militaries are continuing to threaten each other over American naval vessels intruding on territorial waters claimed by the Chinese, the Russians and the Chinese are working on strengthening their military cooperation.
Both nations are considered a threat in the Trump administration’s recent defense posture and both of them find themselves on the receiving end of American economic aggression.
