With the return to the White House of Donald Trump and in connection with his statements about his readiness to normalize relations with Russia in Washington, a discussion was flared up for the capabilities of the United States to drive a wedge into the relations of Moscow and Beijing. Officials (for example, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio) are openly evidenced and reasoned by brain centers close to the Republican Party. In the media, this idea was called “reverse nixon”. In 1972, the then US President Richard Nixon became the first American leader to visit China in an attempt to get closer to him to confront the USSR.
Sergei Shoigu in his entrance word at a meeting with Chen Wencin did not mention the third countries, but his words that the relationship between Moscow and Beijing “has the necessary strength to counteract the pressure from the outside” and “cannot be sacrificed to the momentary political conjuncture”, were a clear message for Washington.
