Please do not consider Russia and China on equal footing. These are two very different countries, with different cultures, and observable differences in foreign policies and involvement. Although both are founding members of the so-called BRICS, that by no way suggest one should trust these two equally.

This is not about trust it’s about forming new agreements of mutual understanding of benefits of respecting the sovereignty of each country and nationality. This respect of agreements of sovereignty and differences in cultural traditions and domestic politics have The West failed on every possible level and ways and this describes the Wests unique lack of respect.

Well, cultural, political and economic differences should not prevent China and Russia in creating a military pact, where they come to each other´s aid - like actually in Ukraine where Nato is attacking Russia. Wouldn´t China appreciate Russia helping China militarily if or rather when China is attacked by the US/Nato?

How strong a military alliance is really depends on the trust factor. China is not trust worthy even if we ignore the moral and cultural issues. China's weakness includes higher dependency on imported materials, high needs for hard currency, and over-dependence on exports. Russia has none of such problems. But China cannot be hard enough if any of the three fronts is hit.

To be honest as a British citizen of nearly 60 years. Why the Eurasia economic forum should be even bothered, or think it should be bothered. No matter how far in the future, with any of the Western countries. Would be total stupidity on their behalf. We are talking many many centuries of brutality, genocide, theft, threats, economic terrorism, violent terrorism, constant warmongering, deceit, lies, arrogance & total ignorance towards them. A few decades in the future isn't going to alter Western ruling classes attitudes. You're very naive & those countries of the Eurasia economic forum would be very naive, to ever consider their attitudes would ever change. I'll explain why, no matter how much financial hardships they impose on their own citizens. Through their insane extremists policies, against sovereign countries. That aren't under their control. They just become more wealthy & more powerful. I've watched my own country, get totally destroyed by these lying traitorous vermin. I watched so many communities, families & individuals destroyed by theses people in power. For self gain & power. These people must absolutely despise their own people. It's the only logical reason I can come up with. After all of these years of watching the destruction of my country. It was announced last weekend, the most popular boys name for newborns in my country is Mohammed. I'd be labeled a far right right extremist in my own country just for writing that fact. I hope you understand, I don't say the ruling classes must absolutely despise my fellow citizens. But none of those people live anywhere near any communities, where there's a lot of kids running around called Mohammed. Why would that be?. Anyways back to the main point, these people are psychopaths at the very least. If anyone hadn't noticed it's been this way for many centuries. They won't change their attitudes why would they?
