China and Russia have announced a deep strategic alliance to counter the “pernicious influence of the United States.” The presidents of both states signed a joint statement condemning “NATO expansion” and aggressive intentions towards Russia.

It is reported by Reuters .

Russia expressed support for China’s position that Taiwan is “an integral part of China.”

Beijing, in turn, joined the call for non-expansion of NATO and supported Moscow’s “security guarantees” regarding Ukraine’s non-entry into the Alliance.

“The parties oppose the further expansion of NATO, call on the North Atlantic Alliance to abandon the ideological approaches of the Cold War era, respect the sovereignty, security and interests of other countries … The Chinese side understands and supports the proposals put forward by Russia on the formation of long-term legally binding security guarantees in Europe,” the text of the statement posted on the website of Putin’s office reads.

According to Reuters, both presidents expressed concern about “the advancement of US plans to develop global missile defense and deploy its elements in different countries of the world.”

Without naming Washington, Putin and Xi Jinping criticized attempts by “certain states” to establish global hegemony, stir up confrontation and “impose their own standards of democracy.”

The statement also speaks of “firm mutual support in protecting their fundamental interests, state sovereignty and territorial integrity”; the parties “oppose the interference of external forces in their internal affairs.”

In the field of technology, Russia and China have declared their readiness to strengthen cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence and information security. Countries consider “unacceptable” any attempt to limit their sovereign right to regulate and secure their national segments of the Internet.”

The Kremlin said the parties also discussed the need to expand trade in national currencies due to the “unpredictability” associated with the dollar.

  1. Now they are smiling. When we stop all gas imports from RuSSia and pull out our production from China these clowns will have to go and fuck themselves. It’s only a matter of time until this will happen. BTW, please boycott the Bat Virus Olympics!

  2. In another report about those two dick-tators, it says, “The parties also spoke out ‘against the abuse of democratic values’…”
    Those two shit nuggets talking about democratic values are like two girls talking about having erections.

    At nay rate, Xi, go and eat your rotten fish and rape your house pigs, and keep out of European affairs.
