Most of it is for show-- trying to see how many concessions they can get from it..
But there is a serious element of truth, of reality to it as well.
History is a great teacher..
We must remember how Stalin signed that secret pact with Hitler BEFORE- Hitler later decided to take Russia too (and failed miserably)...
So Russia is known to do secret deals to advance its territories and power...
I think very likely has done so again with China-- the old non-aggression pact strategy and the general theme of we both work together to weaken and counter America....
Which certainly seems far more likely than it is less likely to be the case, imho.---Tyr
