💨 Abstract

Russia and China share similar views on U.S. influence in Asia, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov criticizing U.S. attempts to escalate tension around Taiwan. Lavrov expressed support for China's territorial integrity and Beijing's approach to the war in Ukraine. Both countries seek to address the root causes of the Ukraine conflict, including NATO's eastward expansion and the creation of an "anti-Russian military bridgehead."
