Meanwhile, we seem to have forgotten the efficacy, perhaps even the techniques, of soft power.
But partnerships of one kind or the other are inevitable between Russia and China. They share a huge common border after all and a somewhat parallel recent past. We would do well to recognize that and make the best that we can of it, working with one, the other or both as opportunities arise and interests coincide.
