    Not a controversial stance for an European nation but the joint statement is interesting. Could this be a part of a deal for China to flip on Russia. Does China choose to stay with an ideological reactionary ally or move towards collaborations

      China is far better of allied with Russia than with Western Europe from an ideological perspective. France is still an active empire and it still acts as an administrator of neocolonial dominance. There is no reason for China to move towards Western Europe at all. It is Western Europe that must move towards China.

      Or, alternatively, this might be part of a deal for France to flip. Turkey already did the same thing, so they wouldn’t be the first in NATO.
