Russia Invites China To Fight The US And Allied 'Restriction' Policy

JAKARTA - Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, has pushed his country together with China against the'restriction' policies carried out by the United States (US) and its allies.

This was said by Shoigu when he met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi discussing the defense sector of the two countries in Beijing, Tuesday, November 12.

"Compensive partnerships and strategic cooperation (between China and Russia) are a model of collaboration between the two powers in the world today," Shoigu said in front of Wang, quoted from the Russian news agency via AFP.

"While this is not a military-political alliance as it was formed during the Cold War, relations between our countries transcend the form of relations between these countries," he continued.

Towards the end of talks, Wang scheduled a meeting with Shoigu this week to discuss "strategic security consulting" and key issues involving China-Russian strategic security interests in order to increase mutual trust between the two countries.

Meanwhile, Shoigu is scheduled to attend a Chinese military air demonstration this week. The event, which will showcase China's civil aerospace and military sectors, takes place regularly every two years in Zhunghai City.

Russia's most advanced jet, the Su-57 stealth fighter jet, will show off at the aerospace exhibition.

China-Russia is known to have expanded military and defense ties since Russia's attack on Ukraine nearly three years ago.

China, through Chinese President Xi Jinping, is also still an important ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the world stage.

On the one hand, China is among the development of the Russian and North Korean alliance (North Korea). This follows North Korean soldiers recently together with Russian soldiers on the Ukrainian border. Most recently, Russia-North Korea plans to ratify an important defense pact in the near future.
