Les grandes manoeuvres russo-chinoises. Ça se poursuit. Ça fait pas trop de bruit dans les médias de chez nous, mais il semble que les accords politiques et militaires entre la Russie et l Chine se signent en cascade ici et là sans que ça fasse trop de bruit. Une alliance qui se renforce à, l’heure où l’occident (si on peut encore utiliser ce terme, mais il pourrait bien revenir à la mode) tente de marginaliser la Russie de plus en plus. Ça vaut bien un nouveau tag #alliance_russe_chine ou #alliance_russo_chinoise

The Kremlin is quickly moving its priorities towards the east and is putting its bets on comprehesive partnerships with China.
In that great geopolitical shift, the Arctic is playing a central role. Not only will oil and gas from Arctic fields run through the new eastbound pipelines, but China is also securing stakes in a number of assets in Russian Arctic waters and territories.
