A new thread to discuss the apparently growing Russian Sino alliance. This week sees the Chinese carrier battle group enter the Baltic to participate in war games. RT is making a big point of the exercise claiming that it is to counter balance the growing NATO expansion.
How valid is this? Are NATO simply responding to Russian aggression in the Ukraine and taking steps to reassure the Baltic nations?
Do China and Russia have their own agenda that goes beyond defence?
Could we see Chinese troops in mainland Europe supporting Russian defences? Is that likely?
By any standards the rise of the Chinese navy has been startling and alarming. Is there something deeper to all of this?
How deep is this alliance?
