There are clearly limits to China and Russia’s ‘no limits’ partnership: Analysts

” The Russians are at the cutting edge of specific higher- level, fast and anti- satellite technology … technology that is worrying the West. China wants that technology that, according to Braun, “it would want to harm America’s satellite ability as much as possible” if it were to go into a fight with Taiwan. &nbsp,

” Russia is in a position to turn down that engineering,” the statement continues. Chinese products and assistance are required. As Russian dependency rises, China may feel more confident in controlling, embracing or pressuring Russia”.

BENEFITS AND RISKS

During Putin’s two- evening visit, both leaders are expected to focus on business, strength and stability issues, including Ukraine.

China faces an extremely difficult balancing act, according to experts, because there are advantages to maintaining strong relationships, but there are also hazards.

Xi just returned from a three-nation tour of Europe last year, which was perceived as a charm offensive due to the US’s high tariffs and a slow-returning business. &nbsp,

” A relationship ( with Europe ) remains quite vital for China, and its ties with Russia can endanger that”, said Braun.

If Moscow continues to rely on Beijing’s assistance to increase its economy or gain social assistance at the UN, he added, Russia may turn out to be a difficult ally.
