• China's defense minister met his Russian counterpart in Moscow on Tuesday to show that they have forged a "strategic partnership" to oppose the US.
• "The Chinese side has come [to Moscow] to show Americans the close ties between the armed forces of China and Russia ... we've come to support you," Gen. Wei Fenghe, China's new defense minister, said.
• Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also met in Moscow on Thursday where they expressed the same sentiment of a forged "strategic partnership."

China's defense minister met his Russian counterpart in Moscow on Tuesday to "let the Americans know about the close ties between the armed forces of China and Russia," according to the Associated Press.

 

"I am visiting Russia as a new defense minister of China to show the world a high level of development of our bilateral relations and firm determination of our armed forces to strengthen strategic cooperation," China's new defense minister, Gen. Wei Fenghe, said, according to CNN.

To oppose the US from doing what?

Do you think their 'partnership' is a veiled threat to Trump to not make China angry with tariffs?

I was wondering the same. Could it be to keep US in check? Level the playing field? 

 

Can the king of the north be a combination like these two?

Sure the KoN can be a dual world power. The KoS is - US / UK.

Yes, and I wholeheartedly believe it is. The KOTN is the Russian-Chinese alliance and it's allies, and I make my case for it in the King of the North topic cited above.

I have been thinking Russia for a while, but these two seem even more likely a candidate. Together they probably would possess the power to fill this role.

The top 4 powers in this world are....

 

1. USA

2. Russia

3. China

4. UK

 

If 1 & 4 are the King of the South, it sure makes sense that 2 & 3 are the King of the North. Especially since they are fast becoming bedfellows. Check out this discussion in a more private area.... https://jwtalk.net/forums/topic/32244-the-king-of-the-north-hmmmm/?do=getNewComment

Traditionally, the KotN has been more dictatorial and aggressive than the liberal KotS, so why not both of them?

 

The last KotN was the communist bloc and they were both part of it....

This will get Samira going 😉 We haven't discussed the KotN  at home for a while. I guess she's missed this discussion 😂😂😂 

But an interesting though Bob and all who mentioned it. We will dig into this...
