Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov made a disclosure to China and blurted out without thinking: Russia will never betray China. Why did Russia choose to make the above statement at this time? What are the future development prospects of China-Russia relations?

As the Sino-US trade dispute continues to escalate and the recent interactions between Putin and Trump from afar, the United States has once again begun to hype the plot of "uniting with Russia and resisting China."

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, in an interview with the Russian media, responded resolutely to this, which is also an isolation of the Chinese side. Lavrov said that Russia will not jointly confront any party with anyone, let alone against China, this is not to think about.

Lavrov added that Russia and China have a solid legal treaty basis, which clearly defines the relationship between China and Russia, that is, the two sides are a relationship of mutual support and cooperation, the essence of this relationship is to promote the economic development of their respective countries, consolidate the national defense capabilities of both sides and strengthen the position of the two countries on the international stage.

In fact, Lavrov explained the essence of China-Russia "comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination in the new era" in more detail, and made it clear that Russia's firm position that it will never betray China and make peace with the West.

The strategic cooperation relationship between China and Russia "back and forth" will not change much in the present and in the future for a considerable period of time.China is currently facing the economic encirclement of the U.S. West, and trade friction with the U.S. West continues, while Russia has been pushed out of the U.S. West's dominated economic, trade and financial system due to the conflict with Russia.

In military and geostrategic terms, China-Russia is also in a very similar situation.The Russian side is deeply trapped in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and does not know when to find peace, although it is gradually taking over in the battlefield, but also faces the risk of a direct conflict with NATO.

The European Union has drafted a military plan that sees Russia as a long-term threat and seeks to build sufficient defensive capabilities within five years to prepare for war with Russia.

In the direction of the East Sea, Taiwan Sea, South China Sea, China is also challenged by the United States, Japan, the Philippines and other countries, and the U.S. government has said more than once that in order to prepare for a direct conflict with China, U.S. Defense Minister Hegerseth even changed the "Department of Defense" to the "Department of War", to mobilize from the top to the bottom for potential large-scale conflict.

In addition, on the international stage, China-Russia is also subject to various restrictions by the US-Western countries. In the UN Security Council, the US-West wants to weaken China-Russia's "one-vote veto right", and when dealing with regional hotspots such as the conflict in Pakistan, the US-West excludes China-Russia and does not invite China-Russia to attend the meeting.

It can be seen that China and Russia are both forced by reality and responsible to unite the vast number of countries in the global south that are oppressed by the United States and the West. China and Russia share a common goal, which is to build a more just and reasonable international order so that all countries can better safeguard their own sovereign security and development interests.

It is foreseeable that China-Russia will continue to cooperate closely until there is a fundamental change in the current strength comparison between the parties.

Trump doesn't really think that Putin has a few nice words about his performance on the Middle East issue, think that Russia's policy towards the United States will make a major shift.

Through the last meeting with Trump in Alaska, Putin has already tested the reality of the United States. Trump only wanted to get Russia to compromise on issues such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but did not seriously consider Russia's security demands. As a result, Putin accompanied him to finish the scene, and the Russian army still acted as planned.

US-Russia relations have lost basic strategic mutual trust and are completely incomparable to China-Russia relations. During Trump's term of office, don't dream of "uniting with Russia and resisting China."
