What you have to concern yourself about is when China starts licking their chops at Russia. We allied with them for WWII. We could find ourselves having to do that again.

The Kremlin is far closer to China than we are to the Kremlin. They rely on China for investments. The Chinese also look to Russian weapons where domestic industries fall short. Russia delivered their S-400 missile system to China recently. They aren't enemies per se. We would need delicate negotiation to extricate Russia from China, and we don't seem to value that type of diplomacy.
