Winner winner chicken dinner.
Didn't KFC leave Russia, like many other western brands? Isn't it now a Russian brand named Rostics?
Copious amounts of maple syrup!
I wonder if their fried chicken / menu is different for the rebranded Russian version.
Russia is one of the world's leading natural resource powers. Russia will not be a junior partner in any block.
China cannot fall into the arrogance of Europe, which, following orders from the US, lost all the competitiveness that once had and is now losing ground in the world.
Russia needs some electronics and components. China in turn needs access to energy resources and commodities. They are complementary economies, neither has definitive dominance over the other.
When the dust settles on the Ukraine war and the US sees the threat of China uniting with Russia, it will certainly go back to negotiating with Russia to try isolate China.
So it's good for China to take advantage and establish lasting and profitable ties with Russia. Never fall into Western arrogance so as not to lose such an important ally in the global supply of natural resources and expertise.

Then don't cry and whine when China starts providing lethal aid to Russia, dumba$$.
Blinken can also forget about visiting China. A warmonger shouldn't be welcomed in a peaceful civilization state.
In the meantime, China and Russia should've intensify military cooperation already. Even if those aren't meant for the war in Ukraine, who gives a damn? As long as China can shove as many middle fingers to the US as possible, that's more than enough.

That's funny. In the first sentence you say IR isn't like a business, and in the very next you proceed to say junior partners in firms can leave.
What exactly is the relevance here?
My dispute is with the characterization of Russia as a junior partner in a China-Russia partnership. In any partnership where one partner is characterized as a senior and the other as a junior, it means the senior is in charge while the junior is the subordinate.
That, quite simply, is an incorrect description of the China-Russia partnership. China is not in charge, and Russia is not a subordinate.
Just gonna say. The only ones who is pushing that type of language is the Western officials and media with the purpose of driving a wedge in public influence to affect the relation. China and Russia isn’t going out of there way to talk about whose inferior and superior.
