I'm not clear as to all the psychobabble. New friendships between Russia and China is a stand down of tensions between the two countries which have gone back for decades. For the uniformed, hostitlities beween the former USSR and China were almost greater than between either and the US! In 1970, they actually had shooting border disputes.

Some military alliances probably figure more into their common problem of Central Asian muslims. The object of Bin Ladden is to recreate the Ottoman Empire or a Central Asian Empire. Most of those regions are either in Russia, China, or border on them.

While the US is new at fighting against the Islamic fundamentalist, both Russia and China have been involved for years!
