@coolgod I just finished watching this video presentation from a Chinese-American professor on the Sino-Russia current geopolitical dynamics which is ahistorical normal in normative terms. Professor Yu Bin also mentioned the Westphalian notion look on state to state relationship that may have produced less RELIGIOUS WARS but not necessarily lessen the interstate conflicts unlike that of the Eastern CONFUCIAN model that China supposedly operated with.
I am seeing what you have mentioned that it does seem the current leadership in China is eager to promote Confucianism as it's soft power onto the world scene with great intent.
The professor made two errors. Calling it a Western Civil War and than non alignment of major powers of Global South. he mentioned China has not recognize Crimea. what you think will happen when Russia all of sudden change stance on many things?.
who does he think is global south majority?. Start with African continent. and it is the Soft Power that is suppressing things about that involvement. It happened before in Syria. where that Soft Power provide cover to push millions towards Turkey and Europe. when it comes Russia you only concentrate on that Green.

Spotlight on Erdogan's Deep State Roots
I have talked a lot about the Atlanticists sect linked to NATO and the Eurasians linked to Russia and China in my previous articles, but I did not touch on the other deep entity that Recep Tayyip Erdogan began to establish with a sect of Islamists secretly starting in the mid-nineties of the last century on the ruins of an Islamist entity linked to the American and British wings of NATO except as an interjection that does not provide a comprehensive vision sufficient to comprehend its nature, dimensions and various mechanisms. Therefore, in this report, I will seek to reveal this entity with its historical roots, current branches and the prevailing conflict between it and the Atlanticists and Eurasians sects

What does the Turkish 'deep state' want in Syria?
In other words, Ankara was not acting in the name of peace. They were the “neighbors” who supported and fueled the transformation of the conflict between the regime and the opposition into a full-fledged civil war with the involvement of foreign centers
On the one hand, the Turkish armed forces are improving their internal image and strengthening their political importance, on the other hand, they are helping to preserve the territorial integrity of the Assad regime in Syria. They are acting together with Russia, coordinating their actions with it. At this point, Ankara is simultaneously acting together with Moscow and Damascus against the United States on the principle of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. Russia publicly declared its desires in Sochi, when Syrian politicians of different orientations gathered there. To summarize, we can say that the issues of territorial integrity of Syria, the integrity of the state and secularism have come to the fore. These political issues are also the preferences of the “Eurasian deep state”, which forces Erdogan to support their aspirations.
