Russian-Chinese Beat Up
Does not look super likely to me. Great Russian racism makes them sorta unlikely to ever get along well with the Chinese, and the Chinese seem to me to feel awfully superior to the Russians. This is just a marriage that ain't on.
Chinese-American co-operation, on the other hand, seems to me likely to be a big element of the future. There's a healthy degree of mutual admiration -- although China's engineer-centered government sneers at our lawyer-entered one -- and the two societies are deeply intertwined.
