Exactly. Despite Russia being capitalist, it has de facto taken the place of the Soviet Union (before the Sino Soviet Split) in the global communist and antiimperialist movement, with the difference that now China is the leading economic superpower in the bloc and Russia the military one, while beforehand the USSR led the bloc in both aspects and China was subservient to it. Russia and China complement each other perfectly. Chinas strong economy helps Russia resist sanctions, and Russias strong military helps China resist any eventual military aggression. There is no defeat of US imperialism without both powers together. Without Russia, China cannot defend itself from US aggression, both economical and military. I dont understand why so many people dont get this. Have you ever seen Xi Jinping rambling about “Russia is an imperialist hellhole and we should oppose it”? No. And yet some people think they are smarter than the general secretary of the CPC. They just cant shake off their “Putin bad” western propaganda conditioning.
