In the triangular constellation of Russia, China and the United States
we find decisive factors that make Russia and China allies of necessity.
They are temporary allies, of course, because all alliances are temporary.
The factors that make this alliance may be simplified as follows:
First, Siberia and the deserts of Central Asia provide an enormous
natural barrier between the two countries. It is plain to see that even
if China defeated Russia, she would merely take control of Siberia.
How many Chinese can be settled in Siberia?
As for Central Asian oil and gas reserves, it is cheaper to buy oil and
gas than to take these resources from a nuclear superpower.
As for the Russians, their position in the Far East depends on the
future status of Japan and South Korea (currently under the American umbrella).
Here is where the most decisive factor comes into play; namely,
the existence of the United States. If China attacked Russia,
the United States would undoubtedly help Russia and penalize China.
If Russia attacked China, the United States would help China
and penalize Russia.
This is the well-known pattern of American international behavior.
If China wanted to overrun all of Russia, it would have to deal
with the United States first.
This is the real lesson which dictator states learned from
studying World War II.
They learned that America will not allow an aggressive power
to dominate Europe or Asia unchecked.
