The political scientist spoke about the dream of the United States in relation to Russia and China

The United States has long harbored a dream of breaking up China and Russia, but Beijing remains an important partner of Moscow, and all sides understand this. Political scientist Alexander Dudchak told about this on Wednesday, July 30.

Earlier, The Washington Post (WP) reported that US President Donald Trump decided to make concessions to Chinese President Xi Jinping because of a possible trade deal between Washington and Beijing, as well as a meeting of the leaders.

Dudchak noted that it is too early to talk about softening relations between China and the United States, while the Americans would not mind spoiling relations between Moscow and Beijing. To do this, the United States is trying to promise Russia some concessions, or it is trying to build a so-called "Chimerica" with China.

"Will there be an attempt to negotiate and be friends with China against Russia? Well, this is an old dream of Americans," the political scientist said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

He noted that China understands everything perfectly.

"Xi Jinping said in a conversation with President Vladimir Putin that countries can stand back to back against any opponent. In this case, we mean not so much military as economic. And I think the Chinese understand perfectly well that it makes no sense to be friends against Russia, because they will be next," Dudchak explained.

The expert suggested that the United States hardly has any serious prospects in persuading China to take anti-Russian actions. According to Dudchak, in this political situation, each side will remain in its position.
