Summary
China and Russia describe their partnership as “better than an alliance”—but what does that mean in practice? Russian journalist Yevgeny Pavlov joins Pascal Lottaz from Beijing to examine the interests driving their cooperation, China’s cautious diplomacy, and the limits of support for partners such as Iran. They also discuss Russia–Japan tensions, Ukraine peace talks, Nord Stream, and Europe’s deepening strategic crisis. As Washington shifts its priorities, the conversation explores how Moscow and Beijing navigate an increasingly unstable international order.Links:Yevgeny Pavlov's English-language Substack: https://substack.com/@beetureen?r=6mz...
