Its a mutual relationship. China knows that if Russia is weak it hurts their ability to fight western hegemony which will try to hold China down into just a manufacturing state economy for its own markets. As China emerges, and build out its own trade routes, it knows it must exercise power to show the western powers it means business. As far as USA being some great power that can protect trade routes, we have seen just a big of sham that is by Yemen. USA does not have the types and amount of naval ships to do so. It has a fleet built to fight countries far away, not protect trade routes which is much more different. China and even India have done a better job of building those out.

Can't happen, won't happen. China is in the midst of demographic collapse. Their population is going to be cut in half by 2050-ish. They are demographically incapable of consumption-led growth, their investment-led growth has burned out, and export-led growth is impossible without the U.S. and Europe. Face it.....China is almost done as a unified nation. They've only been able to unify and grow due to the artificial economic and security environment created by the U.S. Without that, it's going to revert back to the fractured mess that it's always been.

It's really surreal in a way.
I'll be interested to see what this dynamic looks like in 2-3 years. It's going to wild, weird, maybe terrifying, and it times hilarious.
