The Russian-China revival, ending in the 1990s for the United States' counterpart, seemed not possible for a long time. Such a forecast has been published by the Economic Times (ET).
The reason for the revival of the old alliance is Washington's tariff pressure. It turned out that it was particularly sharp for India, until recently considered the main partner of the United States. However, now, the head of the White House Donald Trump has put taxes to 50 % as a penalty for buying Russian oil. Meanwhile, Beijing, originally the main target of Washington, liked to rest temporarily and Russia, who had a hurting economy, were looking for partners to improve the international situation.
However, the alliance of the three countries seemed to be impressive on paper: The three countries have a huge economy and population. In fact, she is always distorted by the uncontrolled, mainly among rivals of India and China. One of the stumbling stones is their long -term border dispute. Now, Trump's tariffs are pushing two countries to Raprochement, but, as the founder and director of the strategic and defense research council, Jacob Happimon, basic conflicts that are hard to disappear in the near future.
In addition, China was close to Pakistan, an alarming Indian place. Beijing became the most important partner of Islamabad in the field of defense. In the next clash with India, Pakistan said the five Indian fighters were shot down by the Chinese J-10C aircraft. In addition, New Delhi said that the PRC provided Pakistan air defense systems and satellite support. This situation adds India's fear of security and feels that China cannot be trusted.
In addition, economic logic does not support New Delhi. India depends heavily on US technologies, capital and supply, which both Russia and China are irreplaceable. The US is also the most important market for Indian goods.
For Moscow, it is much closer to Beijing. Since the introduction of Western sanctions in 2014, bilateral trade has developed to record values. Russian companies are increasingly connecting with the Chinese financial system through the yuan and services like Unionpay cards. For New Delhi, participating in such a block means that the situation of a younger partner, but is almost unlike an attractive prospect.
Earlier, there was a report that Chinese refineries have increased sharply of Russian oil purchases, involved in significant reduction in Indian imports due to US tariff policies.
